What would you recommend as the best commercial self defense load for a 9MM? Black Talon is not an option.

In absolute terms none of us can tell you which one is the "Best", for your particular handgun, and the circumstances you intend to use it for.
WOW.
very impressive performance. Instantly fatal.
You go buy 3 or 4 different loads to try.
Here we are talking 4 to 8 boxes of ammo. If one of those seems to be 'best' for you, go buy several boxes of that and shoot it all.
That is where some folks get hung. If you find that the Hornady XYZ maxibambam is what you want, great. If it cost $ 23 for 20 rounds, that is the price you pay. You still need to shoot up more of that pricey ammo to make SURE it works for you.
How many ? Are you comfortable after 20 rounds ? 40 ? 100 ?
ENJOY !
However, I'm open to new ideas! Gonna give them maxibambam's a try!!!
Glaser does not feed 100% from magazine but ejects 100%. Silvertips feed 100% from magazine, FMJ offers penetration in the possibility more than three or four shots required and cover is taken.
But if you want a wonder bullet. Geco BAT's are my favorite.
