Plinking? Don't really matter, just get whatever cheap, bulk FMJs you can find. For SD..... Hmmnnn, maybe Gold Dots or other rounds that exhibit generally lower expansion than others in pistols. If the velocity is too high the bullets known for their expansion may do so too much and under penetrate.

Serious shooting...SD or HD..Winchester 127gr Ranger-T +P+. nearly 1600fps out of my Ruger PCC, 2" in groups at 50yds...700 ft-lbs muzzle energy...
http://winchesterle.com/Products/handgun-ammunition/ranger/t-series/Pages/RA9TA.aspx

2nd choice would be..Federal 9BPLE 115gr +P+, same accuracy, ..650ft-lbs energy..BEST $$$ value
Federal Law Enforcement 9mm Luger Ammo 115 Grain +P+ JHP

The most powerful, but hard to get though is from Everglades ammo...1700+fps from my PCC and 2 1/2 groups 100 yards!!
9mm 124gr JHP Major Ammo

Got about 600 rds of blazer and 200 rds of Rem. UMC (ordinarily I avoid Rem. like the plague, but this seems to be pretty good stuff.) Everything I have seems 115 gr. FMJ need to find some heavier stuff. I saw that American Eagle has a 147 gr. FLAT point.............wonder how that would perform?

Going to Middletown gunshow on Sat. they have a couple of bigger ammo guys, see what they have.

When it's in stock, I buy lots of the federal aluminum case fmj. With rebate works out to about .1459 per round.

I'd stay away from hollow points in a carbine. The extra velocity causes rapid expansion limiting penetration. If hollow points are a must, stick to 147 grainers since those don't pick up too much speed from a longer barrel.
