There have been a couple examples of this, but as I recall it was in older pistols that hadn't fired higher pressure ammo anyways. The Hi-Power is a military pistol and fired NATO pressure all over the world. I think you're just contributing to typical gun forum B.S. about the Hi-Power more than spreading any knowledge here.Nick said:IF you like your HP do not shoot +P+ in it or you Will crack the slide. The HI Power is not as strong a pistol as many think it is. The slides will generally crack just below the ejection port.
you said it, people give to many trust to some gunrag authors who give their not very scientific guessesPsychoSword said:There have been a couple examples of this, but as I recall it was in older pistols that hadn't fired higher pressure ammo anyways.

9mm. It has much better materials and a heavier slide.
Yup, mention you wanna shoot +p's in a HiPower and that's what usually happens.Texasflyboy said:I appreciate the comments. However this thread is getting off topic.
I am over 21, wise to the ways of the world and accept the consequences of my decisions. Period.
The question was, and remains, does anyone know where I can buy Winchester 127gr. +P+ 9mm? An online source would be appreciated. I have found a few sellers, but always like to comparison shop.
Look at those two cracked slides. I have plenty of time behind the trigger.
Thanks to all for the other info.
Let's get back on topic.
