Do you think there would be any problem shooting Winchester 124gr. NATO 9mm in my 1981 Hi Power? I have a bunch, but don't want to stress the pistol. Thanks.
BTW, I won't be shooting any +P of any type. __________________

1981 is OLD? I have UNDERWEAR older than that!!!! 
I am shooting one Hi Power with NAZI markings. No, the NATO load is not goig to hurt your Browning. I avoid +P loads in just about anything due to increased wear and tear on the shooter. __________________

Thanks gents, I was concerned. Old in this case is relative. I just don't want to mess that beauty up. 
And I was born in 1950.  __________________

I've regularly shot the NATO 9mm in mine with no problem.
I've even shot Buffalo Bore's 9mm Luger +P+ Ammo with no ill effect.
Buffalo Bore 9mm Luger +P+ Ammunition
My range ammo is target load LRN but I carry Buffalo Bore +P+ 115 gr. Jacketed Hollow Point(1,400 fps/500 ft.lbs.) That's .45ACP level power. __________________ .
