+P ammo should work just fine in your DW but I really have to ask why?? 230 grain ball or JHP ammo will do what you need it to do and not put any un-necessary wear on your 1911.

+P will probably give you 100fps higher velocities so if you were going to carry +P ammo you also need to train with it. Price point is a bit more also.

IMHO there should be no issues shooting +P in your DW.

I feel the same way - this is why I load my own self defense ammo. I can't afford to practice with factory JHP ammo. I know there's a lot of rumor that you'll get prosecuted if you load your own, but when challenged, I've never had anyone be able to back it up with case law.

For me, the defense is easy. In order to be safe and confident in my carry weapon, I need to practice with the ammo I carry. The only practical way to do this is to load my own.

Just my $0.02 worth.. now back to the original discussion.
