I've got several 9mms that I only occasionally carry but when I do I prefer the 115s run as fast as possible...1300+...CorBon +P or the Federal LE +P+.
To me no matter what bullet you stick in a 147 9mm all you have at 950+- fps is a 15 shot .38 Special +P...
Like the dopers say..speed kills.

Same for me; I don't have any love for the 147gr stuff, unless it's suppressed.
Also, if they are loaded to the same power levels, 147gr loads do not recoil less, they recoil more. Some people may perceive the slower heavier recoil differently, and think it's less, but that's subjective. The gun gamers claim 147's recoil less, but they're loading to a power factor formula, which is a little different.
