Best 9mm ammo...

I'm going to go at lunch today to that store near NASA Rd 1 today...
I have been wanting to get a good loadout of ammo for "Wife Unit's" new 9mm...
I have not had time to get the RBCD stuff I carry normally in my G23, so I am looking to get a good 9mm load for her pistol...
To me, Speer makes a pretty good product, and I use that stuff behind the RBCD I normally load up with...
I was doing some research, and knowing how my wife shoots, which is a consistant C.O.M. (even under stress), and saw three possible candidates for this project...All of these are HP rounds...
115 gr @ 1200 fps
124 gr @ 1150 fps
147 gr @ 985 fps
Bottom line, I was concerned about the energy transfer into a target...And also knowing that 9mm tends to be a fairly "hot" round in some cases...My concern is that there might not really be enough throw weight "punch" into a target in certain situations...
She feels more confident with the 9mm, and since I have not needed to worry about that caliber in some years, maybe somebody could recall something about it that may help me make a decision...Albiet a temporary solution...
I would still think you're as "got" with a 9mm, as you would be with a .40 or .45
I think its shot placement (accuracy) that really matters...
