+P+ in CM9?

[BrewerGeorge]

Anybody tried Federal 115-grain +P+ (9BPLE) in their CM9? I'm looking for some rounds to buy in bulk and store, and these are pretty inexpensive for their performance.

Is the CM9 even rated for +P+?

No. It states it in the manual.

Thanks!

no, stick with +P, that is a gods plenty..

I've shot it from my CW9 with no negative effects. I couldn't really tell much difference between +P+ and +P. I don't feed it a steady diet of either, just enough to check function.

What I'm really looking for is a decente 9mm round that I can afford to buy 500 or 1000 or for storage.

I've had several knowledgeable people tell me that the 9BPLE is actually a +P masquerading as a +P+. Although they headstamp it +P+ the actual pressure does not exceed the max pressure specified by SAAMI for a 9mm +P. Again this is what I've been told so take it for what it's worth.

I've tried it in my CM9 and the accuracy was good. Recoil was acceptable. Muzzle flash was terrible. I also tried the PDX1 124gr +P and by comparison it wasn't as accurate (might be me) but had milder recoil and muzzle flash.
