New to this forum, but been shooting for years. I had been carrying a S&W 9mm 4"barrel for years with Cor-Bon 115 +P JHP. I also carry a 1911 on occasion.
I had been much more into target shooting of rifles and such, and never really gave much thought to my carry gun, as the carry gun is more of a tool than a hobby.
I have been giving some a lot of thought to carry ammo latley, as it is time to make a new purchase after rotating and shooting most of the stock I had laid in.
I am really second guessing the choice of the 115 grain bullet I had been shooting. The more I search, the more I am confused. I shoot +p in the 9mm because in 9mm I can easily control the more stout load, and it seems like the bullet performance will benefit from the added velocity.
I am torn between 147, 115, and 124 grn offerings. I know badguys are going to dislike any of them, but is there one that is gennerally accepted as the best self defense carry load in 9mm?
