115gr Vs. 124gr

OK, what is the best round to throw at mr. bad guy?
Fast or heavy?
I'm no balistics expert so feedback would be appreciated.

Hose,

I read somewhere on the internet that the 115 was the way to go in a 3 inch barrel. Don't remember where I read it, and have no way to know if it's good info or not, but that is what I carry. I'm supprised none of the balistics gurus have weighed in on this yet.

Based on his wet-pack testing, "Flyandscuba" reports that he prefers 115-grain Speer Gold Dots for his R9.

I understand that Karl Rohrbaugh prefers Winchesterf Silver Tips.

I personally have come around to the "big-and-slow" school of thought and load 147-grain Remington Golden Saber BJHPs in my R9.

Reasonable minds differ on this subject.

From Richard's first link above it would seem the 115 GDHPs are the way to go.
