I personally like CCI Blazer aluminum the best. Then Federal from wal-mart.

For self defense 124 grain (NON +P - just regular 124 grain) Gold Dots and 124 grain Federal Hydrashok are my 2 favs. The hydrashok is my first preference. It seems to be the most accurate defense round in the 92 that I have tried.

, or Hornady Critical Self Defense all JHP.
I don;t know if they have different weights out yet - but I tried some 9mm Critical Defense 115gr JHP - and it shot an inch or two low at 7 yards with my Beretta 92. I had the same issue with 115gr Gold dot. Yet, I can shoot 115gr FMJ with no issues. Strange...

With all the problems with dud rounds with 9mm critical defense rounds a year ago or so, I avoid that stuff.
