I don't want to debate using reloads for self defense. I have all the confidence in the world that I make reliable, safe and effective ammunition.

I am, as an Illinois resident, going to be applying for a concealed carry license. I have settled on a small 9mm for a carry pistol.

My opinion has always been that for defensive rounds a heavier bullet is a better choice. So, in 9mm I am looking at 115, 125 and 147 gr loads.

Comments on bullets would be appreciated. My initial idea would be a 125 "Keith" LSWC pushed hard (fast as possible)
