Then would you agree out of the three above specs...go with the one you can get the best price and availability on? Also would the 147Gr. have the less recoil to contend with?
Unless you are shooting an ultralight pistol or have a physical problem with your hands, recoil should not be an issue with 9mm, if you learn how to hold the gun.
The usual process is to pick a defense load that shoots to point of impact and is 100% reliable in your gun (Most important!!)
Then pick or make a practice load that uses the same weight bullet at about the same speed. (Then practice, practice)
I chose the Speer 124gr Gold Dot and load the 124 FMJ for practice.
Both these function 100% and shoot to point of aim in all the 9mm I have.

It does no good to pick the "theoretically perfect" ammo (by conjecture or consensus) if you can't buy or load it in large quantities and practice, practice.
