So today, I purchased a Taurus PT709 Slim for my girlfriend. She had a frightening experience in downtown Las Vegas when leaving work one night and said, "it's time for me to get a CCW and carry a firearm."
So together, we went to a store and this was what she settled on. Now I know that (mm is a perfectly good defensive round, but it's a bit smaller than I'm accustom to), so I decided to also order her a box of Winchester Ranger-T 127 grain 9mm +P+.
I know she can handle pretty much any caliber from taking her shooting with my .40 and .45 handguns, so recoil isn't a problem for her. My question though, is can this +P+ ammo make up for the disadvantage of lower caliber? Also, will +P+ damage the firearm? Can anyone point me to good data that shows the difference between a standard 9mm round and something like the higher end Ranger-T +P+ ammo that I Ordered for her?
