I've always carried 147 gr, because that was what we were issued when I carried a 5906. Mostly I carry a CS9 or 39xx compact these days. For the full size gun we were told that 115gr was too light.
Is the 124gr better for SD in compact guns? Right now I have a sort of a hodge podge of JHP ammunition and would like to standardize on one weight of bullet.
Is there any consensus on this?

IMO and only IMO, I feel the 124/125gr bullet is the best choice for 9mm handguns no matter what size the gun is. I think 115gr bullet generate too much velocity and can possible expand too quickly sacrificing penetration. I also don't like the 147gr bullet because there are guns that won't cycle them correctly. I tend to like the bullet weight that was used when the cartridge was developed. (158gr .38 Special, 230gr .45 Auto ect.)
