I would value my fellow TFLers' opinions on the best defensive load for a short-barreled (Kel-Tec PF-9) 9mm handgun. I'm looking for adequate penetration and expansion, through heavy clothing. Barrier penetration is not a major issue.
A secondary factor is recoil with the lightweight PF-9.
I'm considering:
Cor-Bon 115-gr. DPX
Cor-Bon 100-gr. Powr-Ball
Hornaday 115-gr. Critical Defense
Federal 115-gr. HST
Federal 124-gr. HST
Federal 147-gr. HST
What is your favorite?
