By .380+P, I'm assuming you're talking about Buffalo Bore as I don't think I've ever seen a box of .380 from anyone else other then BB that actually says +P on it.

You can read the PPK/PPKs manual here: http://www.smith-wesson.com/wcsstore...r/PPK_PPKs.pdf and see that the only references to +P relates to older S&W revolvers, and never to use +P+ in a Walther.

The general consensus is that the heavier .380s, Colt Mustangs, Sig 230/232, and PPKs will handle the hotter .380s just fine, although I would only shoot enough of them to prove reliability and then carry it loaded with the +Ps, they are not range ammo by any means.
