I have a PTR 9K and have a bit of federal 9mm +P+ in hand. Looking to find out if a PTR 9K
would have any issues firing it. Thanks in advance for any info. |

It is my understanding that even +P is not good for the platform.
Can it handle it? I'm sure it can. Just not good on wearing out parts. Like rollers, rails and locking Tolerances. |

I’ve used +P NATO ball and GDHPs through mine without any issues for several years.
I have not used +P+ so I’m not sure just how it will handle it. |

Food for thought. ALL HK 9mm weapons are designed to shoot NATO spec ammo. 124gr @1260fps, give er take. So is +P+ too hot for the platform, can’t see why. Being a clone is the weapon of topic and not built to HK spec’s, YMMV. But to say the platform can’t hand it, I disagree.

Like rollers, rails and locking Tolerances. Can’t tell if this is sarcasm or you had someone tell you bad information. MP5s are absolutely rated for +P. If it wasn’t NATO spec 9mm would beat them apart. The French upgraded it for a steady diet of +P+. The cost of replacing rollers is trivial. Even a new locking piece isn’t very expensive compared to the ammo cost. The system is literally designed to be adjusted for wear. |

Worst case scenario you might bump the rails.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Eyegun: Worst case scenario you might bump the rails. Yeah it’s got to be way out of spec for a while for the rollers to start damaging the rails. Saw that on Hops PTR PDW review. They didn’t manufacture it with the right locking piece |

I ran a shitload of +P+ Ranger 127g duty ammo through my MP5 when I had it. Never a problem.
