AMMO FOR 92F

FMJ22

Last year I purchased a Beretta 92-f and found it to be an excelent pistol. Then a friend informed me that it was unsafe to shoot +p ie: Gold Dot or Hydra shock in the 92. So far I've only loaded it with ball ammo (UMC, Blazer's or whatever decent jacketed round happens to be on sale) I like to visit the range as often as I can and would not make a habbit of shooting heavier loads (and more exspensive) but I'd like to know if I have the option in case I ever find myself in a situation where I must use the gun for self protection. I'd appreciate anyone who might be able to give me some info.

The rounds you mention should be fine for self-defense in any gun. I have seen tests done on them in all kinds of weapons and recoil problems were never mentioned. I have fired Hydra-Shoks in a Bersa 380 with no problems. If you are really worried about it you can probably buy a heavier spring from Wolff. I know they have them for 1911's and Glocks.
