I've been using Federal HST for my EDC and really like the performance, especially in terms of expansion and reliability. What are your go-to 9mm rounds for self-defense, and how have they treated you in real scenarios?
 
It is difficult to beat the 124gr Speer Gold Dot. Federal HST is good too. Ultimately, you're splitting hairs.

FWIW... I carry the 124gr Gold Dot. Multiple LE agencies in SD carry that exact load or the 147gr HST. You really can't go wrong with a good name brand HP self defense load.
 
I like the FMT (fluid monolithic transfer) ammonia like Underwood Xtreme Penetrator and Black Hills Honey Badger. I don’t currently have any in 9mm but Honey Badger is what I use in my Glock 32 .380.
