Problems with feeding a Marlin Camp 9 carbine with +P or +P+ ammo?

If the gun is in bad shape, a cleanup might not make it safe. A check by a qualified gunsmith can tell all. The +P ammo is 10% higher in pressure than standard. Shooting on a hot day can give 20% higher pressure than standard, the same as +P+ ammo on a regular day.

The +P system dates back to wildeyed reloaders of 38 Special ammo for the 38-44 Outdoorsman, which could take magnum pressures. Many light 38's were damaged by these loads which looked the same as standard ammo. The new 357 Magnum and the introduction of phony hot 38 loads (+P) saved lots of people's knuckles.

Bottom line, a gun which cannot safely shoot +P loads in any caliber, 9mm included, cannot safely shoot regular ammo either, and your wheezy classic might be one of these, or not. Get it checked before firing it at all. In addition to this, your older gun should not under any circumstances shoot surplus military 9mm ammo, as some of it is not only corrosive, but loaded VERY HIGH! Regards, Larry.

The +P ammo may have to much pressure.

The right the owner manual for a reason, to keep them out of trouble. I would not suggest it, but the chamber should handle it if you actually do change out the recoil spring.

Nah, I decide to no longer bypass blind. ok, heavily, i'm unlikely to computer screen it yet will you tell me if the Kool-help guy makes a cameo? I guess Dane cook dinner $20 he will a minimum of seem interior the historical past for some seconds. @->-->-

What ever the manual says......or call or email marlin. I would use regular ammo for now........its not a old gun but,still may be designed for regular ammo.

Follow the instructions, cautions and warnings in the Owner's Manual.

They are there for a reason.

If you destroy or blow-up the gun, don't blame us.
