Regardless of the ammo brand or type, it is wise to test your SD/HD ammo to be sure it feeds and fires without a glitch in your chosen SD/HD weapon(s). However, as in life there are no guarantees it will work when you need it, no matter the gun or ammo manufacturer. Odds are in your favor it will work just fine, but you'll never know until the next time you fire your weapon.
I try to get to the range once a month. The first gun fired is my carry w/SD ammo. Depending on which carry, that will be 7 to 13 rounds 9mm or .40. If no hiccups with SD ammo will transition to target ammo, and end with a few more rounds of SD. My HD weapon may get just one or two trips to range a year.
Regardless, there is no "THE" magic SD/HD ammo, nor does it have to be expensive - whether 9mm 115, 124 or 147 gr. JHP - if it feeds and fires well in your SD/HD weapon it will get the job done - provided you hit the target. So practice, practice, practice - as much as you can afford.

Re: Best 9mm ammo for Defense?
The best I've found and easiest on my wallet is Winchester White Box Personal Protection series - 147gr. JHP - 50 rds. under $30 for 9 and slightly over $30 for .40S&W 180gr JHP. Works in all my pistols - feeds well, shoots well, and will hurt the BG same as the expensive stuff with all the fancy names and specs.
