I used to carry this round in 9mm. However, most tests I've seen show the jacket and core separating upon impact. Also, the PowRBall is light weight for caliber (9mm is only 100 gr).
I switched to Federal's 124 gr +P EFMJ (Expanding Full Metal Jacket). I like the heavier weight, and that there is no hollow cavity to get plugged or wrapped (clothing) or crushed (barriers).
Of course, just try finding any nowadays... 
Hornady's Critical Defense looks good too (I have it in .380). The 9mm version is 115 gr, but not +P rated.
