115 is the lightest I've used in 9mm.
A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

Fate whispers to the warrior "You cannot weather this storm". The warrior replies, "I am the storm".

I'm no stranger to light and fast, but never that light. I've carried 100gr 9mm for like 15 years. It's rated at 1450fps.
I recently got some Lehigh Defense 90gr solid copper which is very promising.

You might want to consider recoil if you are using this for self defense.

I go towards the heavier bullet for self defense because under stress you will be able to get your sights back on target faster and be more accurate.
