Is the Browning Hi Power rater for +P ammo. Someone told me not to use +P on a regular basis as the pistol is not rated for it.
Just to add to Mizar's excellent, informative post regarding the differences between the 40 cal BHP vs the classic 9mm BHP, the 40 cal cast frame is stronger (yes, stronger) than the forged frames of the past. FN had the wisdom to make the 40 cal models much stronger than all their earlier models, because they knew the 9mm models, as designed, could not handle the 40 cal pressures.
WVSig, my use of the single word "wisdom" seems to have you worked up and over interpreting my comments. Sorry. Perhaps I should have used the phrase "wisdom gained from R&D work". There is no romance here. Take it easy.
I respect Mr Camp's opinion on this matter. I have his books. There's no need to take a chance at messing up a BHP with +P, especially when the benefits are not that significant...at least for me.
