Every firearm will have its individual preferences, even between different brands and bullet designs of the same weight. Ammo is cheap and plentiful right now, so try at least 100 rounds of several different brands in the 115-124 gr class, and see which one works best for you and your gun. Shooting it off a solid rest takes away a lot of the human factor, not that you aren't a spectacular pistol shot offhand . Please let us know what you find out.

I'd try some 147g loads as well. Those turned out to be the best shooters in my 9mm Shield. I know it has a shorter barrel than the one asked about, but murphydog's point is correct - you never know what a particular gun is going to like best.

Shooting off a solid rest is key. Try different bullet weights (types as well, FMJ, JHP, etc) and see what prints best at several distances. Once you have the solid rest results, try it off-hand and see if you can replicate the results. Good luck
