This is the bullet bible out side of manufacturer testing. Roberts says:
"PISTOL AMMUNITION
Velocity seems to be the "holy grail" for a lot of folks when they decide to choose their handgun ammo, and they tend to gravitate towards +P or even +P+ loads. As mentioned above, velocity is not always good or useful. This is something to keep in mind when deciding between a "fast" 127gr +P+ or 147gr load in 9mm for example. Another factor is the ability to control the follow-up shot. If you have two loads which both perform about the same, you might consider going to the slow/heavy bullet due to the fact that the slower load is more easily controlled. Consider the data from Winchester in regards to their 9mm 127gr +P+ load (1250 fps) versus the 147gr load (990 fps) in the Ranger-T line:"
to conclude his thought, the +P+ Ranger T typically doesn't expand at all. The 990FPS non +P Ranger T is the only bullet that is equal to HST/Gold Dot.
No high FPS 115gr 9mm made the list. Only one 115gr 9mm, a normal FPS all copper Barnes/Cor-Bon bullet.

It isn't just FPS.
