+P Self Defense Ammo compatibility w/ H&K P30SK


After reading through the luckygunner post about all the different self defense ammo I decided on Barnes 115 gr TAC-XPD +P for 9mm luger. But when I read the user manual that came with my handgun it says all this:AMMUNITION WARNING: HK specifically disclaims any responsibilities for any damage or injury that should occur because of, or as a result of, the use of faulty, remanufactured, or reloaded (hand loaded) ammunition, or of cartridges other than those for which the pistol was originally chambered for.The HK P30 pistol is designed to re quality, factory-loaded ammunition, loaded to NATO or SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute) speci cations for use speci cally in handguns.The following guidelines should be considered when selecting the correct ammunition for your pistol:Be sure the ammunition you have chosen is compatible with your pistol-proper caliber, cartridge, bullet weight, etc. Caliber markings on the P30 pistol appear on the left side of the slide and on the barrel locking block, visible through the ejection port on the right side of the slide.Prior to loading the magazine and chamber, carefully inspect all cartridges for the fol- lowing abnormalities: • Cracked, split, dirty or corroded cases • Improperly seated projectiles and/or primers • Damaged projectiles.Do not attempt to fire a cartridge in which the projectile has been forced back into the case. Upon firing, this condition may result in increased chamber pressure above safe limits.Do not fire ammunition through a pistol that: • Is foreign and/or outdated military surplus • Is assembled with corrosive primer and/or propellant • Is exposed to oil, grease, water or direct sunlight. If possible, remove contaminants before use and cool down ammunition exposed to direct sunlight or heat. (Expo- sure to sources of heat could raise the chamber pressure of the cartridge above safe limits.) • Is loaded specifically for use in submachine guns.CAUTION: HK firearms are designed to function with quality, manufactured brass- cased ammunition. Use of steel or aluminum-cased cartridges is not recommended and could adversely affect safe and reliable functioning. Use of cast-lead bullets is also not recommended.NOTE: HK handguns are safe for use with new, high-quality U.S. factory ammunition manufactured to SAAMI specifications. For further information go to www.saami.org or contact the manufacture of your ammunition directly.So does that mean I shouldn't use +P ammo or does +P fall within the SAAMI or NATO specs? via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/1U0RYmj
