I looked on Taurus's website and cant find the PT-111 listed anymore. I use all my guns fr target shotig to keep them up to par, though I'm ready to use ANY of them for self defense, the PT-111 would be my secondary weapon.

The problem with using any kind of +p or even +p+ or ++p ammunition if that it has a LOT more powder in the cartridge than does a normal bullet load for that grain of bullet. Now, the Millennium series, as well as Glock's, S&W Sigma's, and every one else who makes a polymer pistol has a problem. The polymers CANNOT hold the pressure of that much powder. The polymer frames AND their slides (and internal comonents too) literally burst and/or rip apart. Not a pleseant expieriance to the hand/s, face and others near you I assure you. Only those firearms that are fully metal in construction AND are rated for the +p loads of all or any kind can use these loads. And as to the difference between Jacketed Hollow Points and Federal HydroShocks, that's easy. Go for the Federal's. Federal's were specifically designed to be a "one shot, one kill" for there weight and powder load. Regular JHP's are just that, a hollow point bullet with a soft copper jacketing to prevent leading of the barrel and the hollowed point ot make the bullet lighter in weight. They're not nearly as effective as the Federal HydroShocks are in the least.

Better ask Taurus.and, regardless of what they say, you need to realize that extended use of heavier than normal loads is tough on firearms, particularly automatics. You're likely to at least beat up the slide stop.
A lot of people buy firearms primarily for target shooting, with the idea that they might have to use the gun for self defense some day. Do your target shooting with normal loads, and keep the +P's for when you really need them. Just use them up before they get old and less reliable.

Most all guns are capable of accepting +P ammo. It's just a little heavier load of nitrocellulose than normal. The difference is in the ammo case. They are usually nickel plated instead of regular brass.
