The 147 grain loads in 9mm have horrible balistics. The 147 grain rounds are sub-sonic and are produced for use with a suppressor to achieve maximum decibel reduction. I would go with a +p 124 grain, preferably the Gold Dot from Speer.

If you must carry a Hornady load, their new Critical Duty 135 grain load looks promising, and produces around 1,050 fps.
