best 9 mm self defense ammo? speers gold dot GDHP or Doubletap bonded JHP?

Gold dots are my favorite that you listed, but my favorite overall SD ammo is the Winchester Ranger 127gr. +p+. I keep this in my P229.

Ya - define good.

If you are just looking to see what most people carry then I guess the "best" would be the most popular.

I want something to penetrate around 14" whether the assailant is only wearing a T-shirt or the assailant is wearing a ski jacket over a jean jacket over a sweater over a shirt over a T-shirt.

The Winchester 147gr Ranger "T" Series RA9T does that.

I suggest Gold Dot 124gr +P. It performs superbly and has established a great record. Plus, when it's in stock, you can purchase it in 50 round boxes for $30 at http://www.policehq.com/Products/CCI-9GD#.UYldTnfttvY

It's what I use in all my 9mm pistols.
