Which Federal HST?

I have a 9mm Subcompact. I am looking at Federal HST hollowpoints for self defense. Should I go with the 147 grain or the 124 gr +P?

I'm thinking the 124 +P based on what I've read but not sure.

Thx!

I carry the 124 HST. From what I read, they expand better because of the speed they travel.

Do you guys have any places to purchase HST from?

I am interested in changing my HydraShok 124s in my XD9 Service to HSTs.

I still like Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel 124 +p for my 3" pistols.

Does anyone know how the HSTs compare to GoldDots?

Good price, Ill check them out also. The HST's seem to form an even nastier "star" pattern than the Rangers do. Slice and Dice.
