147 gr is a heavier, slower round but round nose or flat nose there is most definitely the possibility of over penetration. If you want self defense rounds, you'd really want to go with a JHP (Jacketed Hollow Point) like the ones below.

Hi Michael and welcome. It could be used in a pinch but will likely over penetrate. A much better JHP option is here: https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/55840/fiocchi+9apdhp+defense+dynamics+9mm+luger+147+gr+jacketed+hollow+point+jhp+50+bx+20+cs -------- Cheers and stay safe!

Hi Michael, this is more geared toward range/target shooting. This will over penetrate in a self defense scenario. You want hollow points for self defense https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/55840/fiocchi+defense+dynamics+9mm+luger+147+gr+jacketed+hollow+point+jhp+50+bx+20+cs , Stay safe & have a great day!
