Anyone shoot this hot bullet out of their Ruger LCP? Anyone with results or opinions with this ammo out of an LCP?

Never heard of it, I like the Hornady Critical Defense in my LCP as my carry load but when it comes to shooting I use Blazer or Zero ammo as its fairly clean and I can get it at a good price

I'd be interested to know as well. Have you looked to see which guns Buffalo Bore recommends it for. I know on some of their +P loads they have a very strict "do not shoot this bullet in these guns or you'll kill yourself in the face" list.

If the LCP does not say +P then do not shoot it out of the gun..

Pretty sure Ruger recommends NOT shooting +P out of the LCP. I have shot the buffalo bore +P out of my airweight smith and wesson j frame in 38 and it was not pleasant at all!

Sho nuff. The owners manual says no +P ammo.

What exactly does +P mean?

I think it means that, being a hotter load, it creates higher than normal Pressure.
