The 9mm Luger was originally designed for 124gr bullets.
Bullets in 115gr give slightly higher energy.
Bullets in 147gr are at the limit of bullet size due to the small case.
Good ammunition is available in all three weights. But compared to a rifle, they're all puny.

If you are looking for the "magic bullet" or the "one shot stop guarantee" you're wasting your time. There is no such thing.

Bullet placement is the most important element, but multiple shots may still be required with good bullet placement. Practice, practice.
