anyone replace the stock recoil spring with a heavier one to mitigate wear and tear associated with running +p+ ammo. wolff shows 14 - 20 springs. i figured split the difference with a 16#, but appreciate suggestions from anyone who's done something similar.

How much of it are you shooting? If it's just a little here & there I'd leave it alone. It should eat it just fine.
I wouldn't be shooting 500rds at a time, but 50-100 every now & then shouldn't be an issue. Except maybe for your hands.

Agreed, I'd use enough to get a feel for it - then load a magazine for your 92FS with it for CCW or home defense.

Bulk, ball ammo for fun & plinking.

It'll be fine, as-is, unless you're planning to run +P+ as your range ammo, which I can't imagine.
I ran Winchester 127gr +P+ as my carry ammo for years, and would run a box of 50 through the gun about every year or so, as I cycled my old ammo out.

You got me thinking BSG62. How long is ammo good for if stored properly in temperate, dry conditions. I have a few cases comprised of 9mm WWB 100 per box. Cases look brand new (shiny brass). Ammo was very sparse and may still be, I haven't been looking.

Thanks!

that's the exact hd/sd round i use for my 9's (sans kahr). i ended up buying the 'calibration' pack from brownells, which provides 15, 16, 18, 20. was a lil' paranoid running +p+ through an aluminum alloy frame, but it'll just be for function.

thx gents.

Honestly, I'd up the recoil spring by at least 2lbs if you are shooting +p+

But as someone else pointed out - I would be very hesitant to feed a steady diet of +p+ thru an aluminum framed gun
