I like the 124gr +P HP for defense work. Heavier bullets penetrate more and are more consistent performers in good/proper penetration.

I am not a fan of the 147gn HP... They do not work in some pistols do to their shape... the barrel needs throated to work well with them on some pistols... maybe many. The bullet engages the rifling too much while chambered.
