now that's a good reason why it isn't used much
Big fan of 127/147 Fed HST and Ranger T, both in +P
Carry it in my P30 and Shield, and in the wife's P30 for HD duty.
I keep half an eye peeled on the various ammo sites and sometimes you can get it without paying out the ass.

Speer Gold Dot 124 gr + P in my S&W 3913. The key thing I have learned about most of the 9 mm ballistic tests is to use bonded ammunition.

another vote for the federal hst
SOME of the GS loads are good but there's a lot of hit or miss.
Another problem is dealers and mid levels can't dry rape quite as hard with it as its actually sold in a 25 round box. So nobody wants the stuff alongside the other 20 round rape boxes of federal personal disaster, or Cor-bon, because the other 20 round boxes will sit there unsold.

smart Man...
As someone already previously posted, pick one from Dr Gary Roberts list. Any of those have been proven in tests and in actual shootings to perform well.
Find the one that shoots best from your gun and that you get a good quantity of to run through your pistol.
That being said, my duty round of choice would be federal 147 grain HST or Winchester Ranger bonded 147 grain. All signs point that we're switching to 9mm so one of those will most likely be our choice.

What pistol, or at least barrel length will you be using?
From my under 4" barrels I tend to the Federal HST. From longer barrels Speer Golddots. For both I tend to the 124gr. Some pistols do better with some ammo than others do.

Witnessed a shooting in Florida. Police offer vs crazy chic in a car. Three shots clustered right in front of her face all three JHPs deflected on impact with the glass and missed her. Like, he did awesome and put two in the ten ring just over the steering wheel. All three missed her and the seat entirely.
She drove off after pushing his radio car out of the way and almost killed two people a few miles down the road.
Caused me to research the effect of glass on ballistics a little at the time. Buddy I played in an orchestra pit with (FDLE crime lab tech) had some good conversations with me about it.
Every LEO I knew at the time used Speer exclusively and the "word" was for glass performance. Mostly anecdotal and now old data (the few studies we found were 2004 or earlier) but sage wisdom is sometimes based on worthwhile experiences.
