9mm NATO AMMO

NATO and +P are within 500psi of each other (~1.3% more for NATO). As the manual says, +p is fine but a steady diet of it will lead to increased wear in the internals. If you don’t shoot a lot (600-1000+/mo) your good. If you do, you can expect to spend a couple of hundred bucks for replacement parts a little earlier than normal. Send it.
 
Not sure if modern firearms really require a "break-in" period - however for a new (9mm) gun (if rated for it), I try to run 150-200 rounds of 124gr NATO thru it to help break it in. From then on, its usually 115 or 124gr FMJ target rounds at the range. (For anything I plan to carry - also run some of my carry ammo thru as well to make sure it feeds/shoots well.)

Yes many modern guns need break in and the manufacturers have even stated they could take 500rds to do so.

With 50 rounds to a box costing $50 or more, 500rds would equal 10 boxes for about $500 plus shipping. Based of that I believe a lot of new pistols will stay in pristine condition for a long time!:)

I bought 600 rounds of 9MM NATO about a month ago for $200 at a local Farm and Home store.
I “Break in” all my guns before I carry them with at least 500 rounds, but I have to say not a single one of the strikers I own ever needed it. Even the VP9 which everyone says to break in has never hiccuped.
