Will 3rd Gen S&W semi-autos with alloy frames like the 3913 9mm and 457 .45acp safely shoot +P ammo? I usually shoot standard Speer Gold Dots but may want to try some +p factory GD's. Thanks!!!

Safely? Yes. Shoot them for very long? Probably not. Maybe do 2-3 boxes (20rds) per year for practice, but I wouldn't ruin a decent gun with them, IMO.

I ask because they are built like a Sig and Sigs will shoot +p all day long.

Maybe all day, one day. The Seals have been known to blow up a Sig or two shooting +P ammo as well. Virtually ANY alloy frame isn't going to hold up to much +P......
