My wife just inherited her grandfather's old duty colt detective spl.
Would it be able to handle +p ammo or stick with standard none +p? I think its from the 40s or 50s I ask because all I use and have is +p. What is a good standard pressure defense round? Thanks |

The 3rd issue post 72 is rated for 3K+P. Second issue with the shrouded ejector is rated for 1K, (it used to be 1.5K before Colt dropped it to 1K). +P was not recommended for pre '72 with exposed ejector. This isn't to say the use of +P will blow the gun up, but with regular usage it will accelerate wear on the handgun, particularly the top strap area. ETA I have the 3rd issue but I still use Hornady Custom 158 gr. Jacketed Hollow point XTP in mine. |
