9mm Defensive ammo

[sjgiff]

Just bought my first 9mm and looking for opinions on good defensive ammo. I've always felt if it didn't start with a 4 it was too small, so looking for ballistic info on 9mm ammo.

There is a plethora of opinions on that subject.

The following is a decent article: http://ammo.ar15.com/project/Self_Defense_Ammo_FAQ/index.htm#9mm

I carry 147 gr Remington Golden Sabres in my 9.

Here's a good read: http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=19887

Not directly aimed at 9mm but Doc highlights more than a few good 9mm loads. (similar to Mr.357's link...the good Doctor has spread this info across many forums)

Thanks for the info. I'll look the sites up.

This guy has tested most of the major SD ammo and you can see the tests and make your own decision.

Right now I am using two boxes of Remington 115gr +P+ JHP I found at a gunshow.

After I use that up on 100 Zombies, I will try some of the newer SD ammo.
