All I know is that I have a full box of their .357. I read all this talk and reboxed it all. I trust my reloads.
I don't know where you heard this but it is simply not true.DO NOT use any +P ammo in the new plastic guns. Alloy frames are okay, but NOT the poly's. No mfr will warrant a poly frame gun that has fired +P.
What type of ammunition should I use in my Ruger 9mm pistol?
The Ruger 9mm pistols are chambered for the 9x19mm NATO Parabellum (9mm Luger) cartridge, compatible with the U.S. and foreign military or commercial 9x19mm loads manufactured in accordance with NATO, U.S., SAAMI, or CIP standards, including high-velocity, subsonic, tracer, hollow point, ammunition loaded in aluminum, steel, or brass cartridge cases, +P and +P+ ammunition. Note: The LC9™ is not rated for +P+ ammunition.

I know I'm a little late posting, and I know this might be a stupid question, but here goes. Are you using any kind of penetrating lubricant on your guns? Something along the lines of WD-40? If you are, please don't. Penetrating oil will penetrate a primer pocket causing incomplete ignition.

Another compelling reason you should plunk down the extra bucks for a well built all METAL pistol to be used for carry purposes. Use the poly's at the range with target ammo. use a REAL gun and REAL ammo to protect yourself.
