Heresy. Absolute heresy.
It's very simple. We all know that the 9mm simply will not kill
anything. While it may cause some surface irritation, and possibly induce an infection, it is not a tenable self-defense loading. The only reason our military uses it is because ammo is cheap, and it's compatible with what the Dutch or whoever are using.
If I absolutely had to trust my life to such a meager loading, I would likely choose the 115gr or 124gr loadings. I know of no current factory handgun sighted in for 147gr, and some will have problems cycling it. You should be practicing with something that prints reasonably close to the same POI as your defensive ammunition, and there's not much 147gr ball out there.
