I was pricing ammo last night, looking into picking up some more Winchester Ranger T series 9mm.    I found several sites that had some +p+ of it.   I had read elsewhere that GLOCKs will handle the Ranger +p+ just fine.   Wondering if anyone here had any opinions/insight/experience in the matter.

My 9mm Glocks have ingested thousands of rounds of RA9TA with no issues.  They're a little bit snappy in the 26.

If you shoot a lot of the +p+ expect shorter recoil spring life . Other than that no issues.

If that's as bad as it gets, I'm going to have to stock up on some, replacing a spring is easy peasy and not very costly at all.

I carried winchester ranger 127 +p+ In my g26 until i ran out of it during the ammo shortage. Never had a problem with it. With the price of +p+ defensive loads, you will go broke before you can shoot enough of it to affect a glock.

I have had over 20k rounds of very hot loads through my G23.  Although there is no +p+ rating for .40 ammo, the load I fired through it was a 155g JHP at 1,250 fps.  My point being that if my G23 can take that kind of beating (with an unsupported chamber no less) then +p+ loads in 9mm should be no problem given that they are the same frame and the 9mm barrel has better support than the .40.

As stated it won't be a problem.
