I have a SF 1911-A1 loaded model and is stock. Is this gun able to shoot +P rounds:?:

i also have an XD9 and an XDM 45... I assume these too can shoot +P rounds as well:?:

This is my first post and I just got these guns new last month and am looking for self defense ammo for the house.

My beginner gun a Taurus PT845 I was told could not handle when I bought it 3 months ago and I used the Hornady CD 185G and had no problems in this gun, cleared 400 rounds through it. Only damn ammo that I could get good groupings with. My Springfields I can drive nails with crap ammo.

Anyway I want to try the +P rounds without damage or risk to myself or guns.

Yes, it can handle it. If you're going to feed it a steady diet of +P, one will likely want to swap out their recoil spring every thousand rounds or so. One could also move up to a heavier recoil spring, but this can have a detrimental effect on the gun's reliability.

Why one wants a whiz-bang lightweight load of questionable performance when standard pressure 230gr loads work better, terminal performance-wise, is a better question.

230gr hydrashoks shoot excellent anyway! The velocity gain in the +p stuff in .45 isn't that much anyway...

I wish I could find more around local. My XD45 loves them.

Thanks for the replys guys. BTW, is this the stuff your talking about DevJames? AMM-515 - Ammo .45 ACP Federal Hydra Shok 50 Rd Box 50 Rounds per Box 230 Grain Hollow Point Law Enforcement Onl

Golden Saber has been my favorite self defense round for my 1911 and XD pistols.

put an 18 lb spring in it you'll be fine I like pdx1 personally doesn't make it too dirty whatever you shoot put more than 100 rds through it with 100% perfect function or do not trust your life to it.

that said I've found any of the bullets with rounded over edges seem to work almost universally IE golden sabers/pdx1
