I keep hearing that is load is "hot". I recently bought several cases and now I am reluctant to use it. Most of my pistols say not to use +p ammo and this is loads close to +p specs. I have Rugers, S&W's, Glocks, etc... Am I going to damage my pistols using this ammo. I generally like to buy ammo that is somewhat easy on my guns as I shoot them a lot. Anyone have any experience?

Fiocchi is not "hot" ammo. It's just not weak like U.S. made "economy" brands (especially Win USA and Remington's UMC).

As a side note, GLOCK 9mm's can handle any factory brand ammo, even +P+ (but personally I don't trust Double Tap or Underwood's +P+).

I wouldn't buy a pistol that couldn't handle +p ammo.

All of those pistols are rated for NATO or +p. The Fiocchi is neither of those so you SHOULD NOT WORRY.

Most say they can handle it, but not in large qty's. I understand my pistols CAN handle the hotter stuff, I'm more concerned with shooting large qty's over a large period of time...

I really wouldn't worry about it.
