I wouldn't shoot much of it. It's hard on the frame and the Defender has an aluminum frame.

I shot a little bit of+ p from mine.  I mostly exclusively shot non+p ammo.

A constant diet of it MIGHT cause a problem but I wouldn't hesitate to use it as carry ammo or shoot a couple of hundred to prove a carry round.

Sure. You are not going to hurt it with +P's unless you shoot a lot and use +P's a lot. I wouldn't be concerned at all with a steel frame. My concern is the aluminum frame. Doesn't happen often but they can crack.
