[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 802904, member: 5168"] Alot will depend on the type of firearm you plan on using. If both are alloy frames then its prudent that you do most of your practice with standard velocity ammunition to decress the wear and tear on the frames. If both are all steel frames then a steady diet of +P won't be an issue. Velocities an chamber pressures tend to be higher for the 9MM+P than the .38SPL+P, yet the .38SPL+P can be had in heavier projectiles, and tend to perform better due to the fact that the largest weight projectile, 158gr, usually doesn't have a copper jacket to impede expansion. Even the heaviest 9MM, 147gr, is still jacketed, and in +P configuration it still has a jacket an its velocities are similar to the .38SPL 158gr +P loading. [/QUOTE]
