Default standard loads Vs. +p's

Is the +p load that much better than std. loads in 38's and 9mm's, and differences in bullet wt. I know (?) that a heavier bullet should have more impact all things equal. Thanks for your reply's

Depends on what you are shooting those +P bullets in!

Not sure what you mean by better. +P stands for higher pressure .

In theory, but higher velocity and penetration and expansion are the goal with a higher pressure +p round.
