what's the +P part?

+pressure
IOW, a higher pressure and thus higher velocity load than a standard 9mm load.

Fwiw, I use to own both, ditched the .40 due to ammo cost, but the 9mm was my first pistol. I would have never gotten rid of that thing cept for that horrible boating accident I had.

stopped that video less than a minute in when he said "pistols suck - not accurate, not reliable, not easy to shoot"

So is that just a bullet option? Not necessarily a different type of 9mm pistol?

he makes solid points. but to each his own. if I could conceal a saiga 12 I would.

its really about preference. bullets are designed to drill holes into flesh. so, when you have to shoot at a bad guy, the more holes you drill in him, and the bigger those holes are the better. So, think of this way,
i need to fill that guy over there with alot of big holes. what caliber can do that most effectively?
i like having 15-17 shots at my disposal. you pick your pref.

Yes it's just a different load option and you won't see "9mm+P" stamped on the side of your gun.
Some older guns may not be able to handle +P loads though.

have a glock .45 and i want the beretta px4 storm as my next pistol. was thinking get the .40 but i might be swayed to a 9mm. Tough decision.
Posted on 12/26/12 at 9:53 am to Chad504boy
I prefer the 9mm to the .40 just for ammo cost and availability.

Most handguns are very accurate for the distance theyre intended for. Beyond that, no. Any good one is reliable and easy to shoot also so BS.
I went with 9 for concealed carry, will have a 45 soon though.

Most pistols are significantly more accurate than the person holding them.

I'll bite...
Is it better to more holes in him, or to put a hole in him that knocks him back and off his feet?
Based on your argument, I'd guess you prefer a .22?

That video is talking about penetration which, while dandy and all, is not nearly as crucial to stopping power as the expansiveness of wound cavities are.
