Well, according to the CCW course instructor, he said in the state of Nevada, you can only use HOLLOW POINTS for self sefense. The DA's office will not allow for the use of FMJs because of over-penetration. I sent Stoeger an email about my Cougar 8000F 9mm if it will accept the +P+ and I haven't recieved anything yet, but a guy in the class is an Air Force tactical instructor (renewing his permit) and he told me that the Cougar should be fine handling the +P+. He said most major brand names like Beretta, H&K, S&W, CZ, SIG, and others are tested with the highest power rounds to see if they can withstand the rounds. All I know is the only gun in my posession is my 8000F. If I come face to face with a life threatening situation, I will use the round in my gun until th threat is gone.
