A: Yes sir! The CZ P-10 C is rated for +P ammunition like this. Just take care that overpressure ammo will wear out a semi-auto pistol's moving parts faster. That's fine as far as self-defense is concerned, but you'd want to avoid doing a lot of target shooting with this ammo.

A: Glock pistols like the G43X are famously compatible with a variety of 9mm ammunition. This is overpressure ammo – the +P means it has a boosted muzzle velocity so it inflicts greater damage to its target. Your G43X will function well with +P ammo, although I advise only using +P for self-defense (the increased chamber pressure will wear out a semi-automatic handgun more quickly).
Of the 9mm ammo we currently have in stock, I would recommend Speer Gold Dot 124 grain JHP: luckygunner.com/9mm-124-grain-jhp-speer-gold-dot-50-rounds. This is also self-defense ammunition. The Gold Dot bullet is designed to penetrate barriers like thick clothing and drywall without fragmenting apart. It's also designed to expand very reliably inside of its target. At 124 grains this bullet is the middleweight for factory loaded ammo, and will accordingly treat you to balanced recoil and ballistic performance. This ammo is a favorite among many law enforcement professionals, and should take great care of you if you're ever in jeopardy.

A: Hello, Douglas! Here's Glock's official take on +P ammo:
"We recommend using ammunition that is manufactured and meets SAAMI or other industry standards, and while some +P ammunition meets these guidelines, +P+ usually does not. This ammunition may generate a higher pressure than standard ammunition, which could shorten the life of the parts of your firearm."
That said, the widely held conclusion is that the G19 can run 9mm +P without any significant accelerated wear and tear. This ammo ought to work well in your handgun.

A: Hi Paul. The Hornady 9mm ammo will be perfect for your GLOCK. I wouldn't feed it a steady diet of hundreds or rounds of +P every weekend to practice, but keeping those in the magazine for self-defense or duty will be just fine.

A: The +P indicates that this Hornady ammunition is loaded to a higher pressure than the standard specifications. This will increase velocity as well as recoil when shot. While +P does not indicate the type of bullet used, it is usually associated with ammunition that features a jacketed hollow point bullet. This critical duty ammo has a JHP bullet with a polymer plug covering the cavity at the tip. This helps with expansion control upon impact.
