Wow! Quite informative!!

Out of curiosity...(I should know this) what is +P+?

And in the same breath.. the difference B/T that and +P?

+P is hot ammo
+P+ is extra hot ammo
both are higher pressure loads

I wouldn't shoot it exclusively through anything, but for carry loads they are excellent. 2 boxes - Use one to test, and one to carry.

Taurus PT111 should handle them decently I assume...?

Willing to part with one box or strictly a package deal?

Check your manual, but *most* modern semi-autos will run it A-OK. As stated it is probably not good for any gun (or any wallet) to shoot thousands of rounds of it, but in small doses it is nothing to worry about. I don't do Taurus though so YMMV.

However I do not want to split these up as I would assume that most folks (myself included), would prefer to be able to buy two boxes to allow for the opportunity to shoot some before running around with it.
