I couldn't respond to the recent sticky post that was made, so had to here.
I think that message should warn more against purchasing .380 ACP +P ammo than against using it in the LCP. The reason being is simple: SAAMI does NOT have specs for .380 ACP +P. Any ammo manufacturer selling ".380 ACP +P" ammo is doing so with arbitrary data, as there is no +P specification for that round.
Warning against not using +P .380 ACP ammo in the LCP is like warning folks not to use 9mm +PP+PP+ ammo in the SR9. The specs for that ammo don't exist, so of course you wouldn't use it in that gun.
Eh. Dreary day. Feel like complainin'.
