Before losing all our guns in a tragic boating accident my spouse bought a Ruger LCR chambered in 9mm as a night-stand gun. Not to my taste, but we have separate nightstands so you do you boo. I'd like to pick up some more hollowpoints (to sacrifice to the lake deities), but I've been struggling to determine what's appropriate since the manual only specifies 9mm Luger "manufactured in accordance with US industry standards". I'm not clear on whether that means any factory loaded 9mm Luger round is fine, or if Ruger assumed you'd only feed 115g FMJ into it and the darn thing may fail catastrophically if you decide to feed +P+ high grain ammo into it. I'm more accustomed to striker-fired pistols where the manual specifies whether whether +P, higher grain bullets, etc are OK or not so this is outside my wheelhouse.
TLDR: Ruger LCR chambered in 9mm, never carried, strictly a home defense gun, ammo recommendations please.
What do y'all recommend?
