Hey guys,
It's not a zero sum game (either/or)
I know some serious PPC and Bullseye shooters who load 147s for accuracy. The most popular seems to be the Hornady XTP for accuracy. This bullet probably wins more 50 yard bullseye matches than most shot out of $2,000 plus custom 1911s in 9mm.
However, most people who carry a 9mm for defensive (sometimes offensive) purposes seem to favor loads with 115 or 125 loads. I have a good stock of Fed 9BPLEs (115 gr +P+) that are very accurate in a Glock 17 or 19 and are a proven stopper. My 9mm 1911s also shoot this load very well, but the 147s are more accurate.
But if you compare standard velocity loads for defensive or law enforcement, the 147 Hydrashok seems to work better than the 115 gr BP, again a very accurate and reliable load. I have always worked the theory that each and every gun is a law unto itself. That is my BHP or Glock 19 will shoot a different load more accurately and reliably than your BHP or Glock might.
