welcome to thr,
I always tell people to try various loads and offerings from the major players in defensive ammo. Ie hornaday, thier tap ammo is very nice, consistent, reliable and accurate, also check remington golden sabers, winchester sxt, winchester ranger, speer gold dots etc. these are some good places to start, personally i would look into the 115 and 124gr+p varietites.
you should get a box of each at least and see that they are reliable, accurate and that you are able to control them shootable to your skill level. which ever one performs the best then i would say go with that. really sd ammo is like buying a gun, you need what works best for you, as well you need what works/ shoots best in your gun.
as far as iwb holsters, check out grandfather oak holsters, they are nice and i have one for my xd sc. there are many other great ones out there, and i am sure that you are gonna get more imput about them form other members. Blad tech is a great place to look as well they make top quality holsters, i have alot of experience with thier products just not thier iwb holsters, but there are many people that have them and carry em.

The only 9mm ammo I'll carry with is 147 grain Winchester Ranger SXT's.

Extreme Shock
I have never had the privilege of shooting this but Extreme Shock "Fang-Face" ammo is the nastiest ammo I have ever heard of!

I've never had a 9mm that would not feed corbons 125+p.

HST is good stuff. I generally prefer 147 gr. for 9mm, but there are some loads like the Ranger +P+ that would be good (never had 'em and probably can't get 'em outside of my department, but what do I know...), Gold Dot 124 gr. +P, and the only 115 gr. I would buy is the Corbon DPX.

Welcome... looks like you have a good excuse to go out and buy a few different kinds. Then head to the range to see what works best for you in your gun.
I use Golden Saber in a 124gr +P for my Glock 26 because it is the most accurate out of my gun. I have also used 124g+P Gold Dots, and even el cheapo 147g Win White Box PP. For defensive use, pretty much any modern expanding ammo in 124 gr or 147 gr will kill the bad guy just as dead as the rest.
As long as it goes BANG each and every time you pull the trigger, you should be fine.
