Choose a high quality name brand hollow point, and one priced were you can practice with the round making sure it feeds without any issues and is accurate.
these 2 were gifts from well intentioned person ...
Kel-Tec P11 -- 9 mm ( read a few horror stories on this gun )

thanx everyone .... most likely what I will do is get a couple hundred rounds of everything that has been mentioned ... go to the range and see what works best
just as I do when I make most of my purchases ... a lot of research and tire
kicking so to speak
9 mm -- Remington Golden Saber +P 124 Grain -- 1180 fps 384 ft. lbs.
or -- Federal Premium Personal Defense Ammunition 124 Grain Hydra-Shok -- 1120 fps 345 ft/lb
.380 = Corbon DPX 80 grain all copper Barnes deep penetrating hollowpoint. .357 = Reminton Goldensabre 125 grain brass jacket hollowpoint. .357 = Buffalo Bore 180 grain lead flat nose bullet if hiking somewhere there is a chance of encountering a cougar or a black bear.
Hey Neighbor, Here is some info on some good 9mm ammo at a very good price. You might give them a call and see if they have any left. Speer Gold Dot 124gr JHP +P, 50 round boxes @$14.00 INC SHIPPING, I usually order 500 rounds at a time, which is now up to $140, delivered. If interested, call (631) 738-6991 10AM-6PM E.S.T. Chesters Hunting and Fishing Supplies, Inc...232 Ronkonkoma Avenue, Ronkonkoma New York, 11779. No credit cards, USPS money orders accepted. Call first, reserve your order, send them your money order with a note reiterating your order. They ship fast and well. Good people, too.
I like Cor Bon for all calibers. Pistol calibers only in TOP BRANDS as Sig Sauer, Beretta or Glock weapons for 100% realibility, if cost is a concern, then a good .357 Mag. or .38 Spl. +P, anyway lots of practice is a must.
I use Remington Golden Saber 124gr +P in my Beretta Px4 Storm. They're not too expensive and are listed in the top five 'one-shot stop' rounds in the book Stopping Power. I think it's rating is about 88% one-shot stops, the Fereal Hydrashock is about 92% and is listed as #1. I learned a lot from that book. I highly recommend it.
