What's your opinion on the best 9mm ammo for SD. I know there is a lot of more experienced shooters and leo's then me, hope MB chimes in on this.

Personally, use 124 gr +P Golden Saber(feeds best). Though Gold dot and HST would be OK.

Albeit I don’t carry a 9mm anymore (SIG P220 in 45ACP) I have no problem with a 9mm for self defense.  I am down to just one 9mm right now (a Behlert tuned Belgium Browning HP), but my 9mm will feed reliably, exceeds my usually anally retentive standards for accuracy, and I shoot it very well.  I have a lot of confidence in that weapon and the 9mm round. 

Lot of great 9mm rounds available.  Experiment, find what you shoot the best and be confident.

Although it's no longer the latest in ammo technology, My G-26 still gets loaded with 124gr Hydra Shok HP.

+1 to the Hydra Shok. Can never go wrong.

I also like the Winchester Silver Tip.

My best guess would be the Mag Safe +P at 540 ft/lbs of muzzle energy. That's more powerful than half of the .357 Magnum loads made. But at nearly 3 bucks a pop you probably can't afford to practice with it enough to make sure your pistol funtions well with it.

The current hot load the FBI is using is the +P+ Federal Hollow Point 9 mm (Product code# 9BPLE ) this is LE only ammo by Federal not the ATF.
I spoke with Mas Ayoob and he also recomended this load. I found some on Gunbroker for about 14.00 a box (50 Round box) plus shipping out of Tulsa OK. I think.

Just my 2 cents worth
