BudsGunShop.com - Kimber Micro 9 Ammo Question

Hi.
I'm hoping someone would help me with a question – I'm new to this.
I recently purchased a Kimber Micro 9 and was wondering if you could recommend the proper ammunition for both practice at the range and for use as home defense.
The Kimber site noted that their function testing was done with Federal 230 grain FMJ.
Any advise would be helpful.
Thanks!

I recommend 147 gr. target ammo like Federal FMJs, then like James G. pointed out using Speer Gold Dot in the same bullet weight. Federal ammo for some reason with my chronograph had more FPS than the Speer Gold Dot and this was out of five different pistols. But both rounds kept similar data as far as the Federal being faster than the Speer. To me this would make good training ammo. I do agree with James though once you do get use to the pistol firing the target ammo, you definitely need to shoot a few rounds of your self defense ammo to see how you and the gun acts.
