HI Robert, Buds recommends these...Home Defense 9mm Luger +P 115 Grain TAC-XP https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/85330 or REM ULT DEF 9MM+P 124GR BJHP 20/500 https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/714016122 Personally I'd use the Winchester 9mm white box 115g if just range shooting
Any ammo should work fine. With that barrel length I prefer quality hollowpoint ammo specifically designed for short barrels. Federal has a 150 HST round specifically designed for short barrelled handguns as does Speer with their Gold Dot line.
IMHO, federal 115gr solid point for the range, remington 115gr hollow point, both shoot well and since your shooting the same weight bullet,they react close to the same
for self defense the old tried and true federal hydro shocks https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/656_2081_10000837/products_id/65885/Federal%20P9HS1%20Hydra-Shok%20Jacketed%20Hollow%20Point%2020RD%20124gr%209mm%20Luger/ for practice I use the federal 115 grain 100 packs from wally world
For a clean shooting non anemic target load I recommend : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/656_2081_10000837/products_id/61881/SELLIER%20/%20BELLOT%209mm%20Full%20Metal%20Jacket%20115%20GR%201300%20f/ (You should have target ammunition that is close in power to your self defense ammunition so your muscle memory will be consistent). A matched self defense round will be : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/656_2081_10000837/products_id/69459/Fiocchi%20PISTOL%20SHOOTING%20DYNAMICS%209mm%20Jacketed%20Hollow%20Point%201/
