What Is +P Ammo & Should You Use It?
This video explains the differences between standard and +P ammunition, focusing on its application in self-defense. It details SAAMI pressure standards, noting +P offers about a 10% increase in pressure, leading to higher velocity and penetration. While beneficial for self-defense, increased recoil is a trade-off, especially in smaller firearms. The video also warns about unregulated +P+ ammunition and provides empirical data on velocity and recoil differences.
