Most commercial standard pressure 124gr loads are around 1150 fps.
9mm+P are usually around 1250fps. 9mm NATO is around 1200-1250fps.
Max SAAMI pressure for standard 9mm is 35,000 PSI and =P is 38,500PSI.
9mm NATO max pressure is measured differently but falls somewhere in the neighborhood of 36-37,000 psi.
So...ballistics wise the NATO is pretty close to 9mm +P.
NATO ammo will have crimped and sealed primers, commercial 9mm usually isn't.
Do a search and you'll find tons of information...and unfortunately some misinformation.
