Some think that a "steady diet +P+ or NATO rounds will reduce the longevity of your pistol" But I don't know.??? How many grains are they?

If you don't plan to use them beyond a handfull your neighbor gave you why risk damaging a good gun. If you feel a need for more power Have at it. If you want to do what you should do then read your manual and if it does not say +P+ is acceptable give the rounds back.

Thats my opinion.

+P will not hurt a SA XD

but his is +p+ or at least the box is labeled that way, but now that I've opened it it looks like it's actually from another box.

Does +P and +P+ have any markings on the casings to indicate as such?

Thanks,

+P would probably be okay, but I wouldn't use +P+. Do you have an owner's manual? I wouldn't use either one of them in a good gun if I didn't have to.

the XD is very capable of handling +p+ rounds. i doubt ur planning on plinking at the range with them so for SD/Hd useage ur fine! i carry 124 gr +p speer gold dots in my xd9sc and i wouldnt hesitate to carry +p+ but i just like the 124 gr +p better!

just to clarify, since im new, +p is high pressure rounds? so +p+ would be...very high pressure rounds?
