Short answer is yes. Those HSTs are excellent, and the 92FS will eat them up. I've yet to find anything that it will not eat. It is a boringly reliable pistol with every and any type of ammo that I have ever tried with it.

Not an issue. The M9 was designed for a lifetime of 9mm NATO which is loaded to a higher pressure than your sammi spec 9.
Get a new recoil spring from Brownells, replace every couple thousand rounds. |

My go-to ammo has customarily been the 124gr +p Gold Dot but the HST was a bit cheaper (but still has an excellent reputation.) It's good to know that his pistol won't see accelerated wear from +p ammo. It won't be fed a steady diet of it. The gun seems to do well with Blazer Brass and the paper targets won't know the difference. |

I have found just about every 9mm pistol I have ever owned ( multiple beretta H&K glock sig plus a few others) all shot most accurately with 124 grain bullet weight. In some cases the difference between sub 115,115,124,147 was under a half inch at 25 yards, in others it was a bit more. As a shooter on a military team I had the chance to ransom test a good number of m9 pistols ( using standard 124 grain nato ball, and they all averaged under 3 inches at 25 yards with some running close to two inches even. Beretta m9's are great pistols and very reliable and accurate

This. I wouldn't worry about it. I love putting 9mm NATO through mine just because it has that bit more "oomph" to it, making it more fun to fire (also flies flatter when you're trying for long range shots). |

Yes +P ammo is barely higher pressure than the NATO ammo the 92fs was designed for
Especially with the stock springs, it eats +P ammo all day and laughs at it lol Think of it as this: 115 grain standard pressure: a tad light for the 92 124 grain NATO: exactly ideal for the 92 124 grain +P: slightly warm for the 92 |

Silly OP....
92fs was designed around the 9mm Nato 124 grain (NATO is loaded to +p preasures) Its absolute favorite is 124 +p |

The ammo industry uses something called SAAMI Standards to establish the pressures that ammo should be loaded to. The SAAMI pressure for 9mm Luger ammo is around 35,000 PSI, and C.I.P (think European SAAMI) rates 9mm Luger ammo at 34,080 PSI. According to documentation, the 9mm NATO rounds are pressured at 36,500 PSI (again according to CIP). That means that when compared to standard 9mm ammo, the 9mm NATO ammo is running a higher pressure, analogous to a 9mm +P load, which SAAMI rates around 36,000 PSI.
