It all depends on you the shooter and the gun that you'll carry.

For me personally, I carry either federal 147gr jhp or Grizzly 147gr+p in my 9mm guns. Those two brands have never failed in any of my Glocks, including the little g43, as well as H&K usp9c.

All my Sig guns are in 45 and 357. I carry federal or Speer jhp in 125gr weight for 357, Buffalo bore 230gr+p in 45. Over several hundred rds through those with no issues.

My test is to shoot 100 rds of carry ammo with at least two mags weak handed. If I have no hiccups I am comfortable with it.

I'll retest carry ammo every 3-4 months or as money / time permit.

In 9mm configuration specifically, I prefer heavier bullets for carry, and from the same manufacturer, just because I'm picky like that...
