A hollow point that doesn't expand may not do as well as a wadcutter. Nor is a dead soft lead bullet of a similar diameter and weight as a jacketed one, such as autoloaders require, an apples to apples comparison.

I prefer midweight, or slightly lighter, bullets in most calibers. While today's better 147 gr. loads work well, I think they weigh too much to be optimal for the 9mm cartridge. I would only use 147s if they shoot to point of aim, and lighter bullets don't, or the gun is more accurate and/or reliable with them.
