Federal HSTs
Remington Golden Sabers
Barnes TACs
Speer Gold Dots
Winchester PDX1s
^any of these plus others will do just fine so long as you take the time and a little extra $ to make sure that they run reliably in your gun. Self defense loads have gotten pretty good over the past 15 or so years.
FWIW I carry the Federal HST 147 grain 9mm
Excellent idea. Then you can buy in bulk and save. I did that and ended up with 1K Federal 147gr HSTs.this summer im going to try other ammo in both guns and find one they both like.
