The location of the gun may also be a factor to consider. In my gun, 230 45acp is preferred.What are you reloading 115 124 or 147 in your 9’s? Bought a bunch of 115 but I’ve been reading 124’s might shoot better. I realize that each gun likes something different.
Ya, if he can’t find it, then he cant shoot it. Therefore, bullet weight won’t matter.Location of the gun??
A bit of caution always wise, if chamber is marked 9mm instead of 9x19 then it was probably designed for 115 grain bullets, the 9x19 is more robust and 124 is standard , two of my 9mm are over 100 years old and certainly not strong enough for my 124grain hot SD loads The Kimber Micro 9 handles them fineWhat are you reloading 115 124 or 147 in your 9’s?

I usually go heavy for caliber in SD ammunition. However, after reading an article by Skeeter Skelton, I've gone with the 124s he recommended for best SD round in 9mm.Depends on application:
124 for range time
147 hp for defense rounds
Also consider the powder you have, some powders shoot better with a certain bullet weights in my testing, depending on how fast or slow the powder burns.
What powder are you using?
I load mine long for a Ruger P95. Never tried reloads in my Shield or SUB2K.115 RMR, both FMJ (1.10 OAL) and HP (1.060 OAL). I load them on the short side to accommodate the Ruger PCC.
124 is heavy for cartridge (not caliber).I usually go heavy for caliber in SD ammunition. However, after reading an article by Skeeter Skelton, I've gone with the 124s he recommended for best SD round in 9mm.
