147gr safe to shoot?

>147gr means nothing withour knowing the velocity
No, pressure. Velocity is NOT pressure, unless you KNOW the exact burn specifications of the powder.
If recoil seems harsher, that could have an effect on the tiny spring.
For me, it would be simple: if the gun functions perfectly with 115-125gn bullets, and is acting up ONLY with these 147gn bullets, I would go back to 115-125gn bullets.
I have never fired a factory round through any of my three P-08s, so have no idea how factory functions, but the loads I work up for my P-08s function my other 9x19s just fine.
The 9x19 problem I "like" is when the empty case and the next round both eject out of the gun—but I haven't seen this with my P-08s.
