Different recoil springs for +P?

Just wondering what the party line is on changing out recoil springs in, say, 9mm pistols for shooting +P. I want to keep shooting inexpensive FMJ at the range but I don't know if I can then carry +P reliably.
 
On my Beretta, I change out springs for +p. The stock springs are kind of light.
My Kahr is rated for +p ammo, so not on that one.

In general, yes.
 
Im picking up a G19 and am planning on using +P for personal defense and was wondering also if I should go with a Wolff spring instead of the factory one. Any inputs on this?
 
Shmackey,

The P7 is designed to shoot +P+ ammo with the original springs.

If you ever have a spring break, I recommend you replace it with an original HK spring.

My S&W 439 came with a 14 pound spring, it now wears a 16 pounder for +P loads. It will function with standard pressure loads as well, but the brass lands about one or two feet from the gun and the slide feels like it cycles a little slow.
 
The Wilson spring kit for my BHP came with three springs: standard, light (for target loads) and heavy for +P. So, they obviously think it's important to adjust your recoil spring to the load. I would agree.
 
New_comer,

P7?

Shmackey did not mention a firearm. I just gave Shmackey the benefit of the doubt!

USPs have good qualities but you might give the P7 a try.
