Nostatic,
The "best" bullet weight is dependant on the job. If you want to shoot the cheapest ammunition for practice and it dosen't hit the point of aim, there are several things you can do;adjust your hold over/under, adjust your sights if adjustable, or just try for the tightest group regardless of where the bullets strike in relation to your point of aim. This last one may sound strange but it is a perfectly functional method. After all, it only practice ammo, not serious defensive stuff, and you can easily set up targets that show grouping and a target for the aimming point. If you can shoot tight groups or double taps quickly, then you have mastered 90% of the mechanics of gun control in a defensive mode. PM me if you don't get the picture.
As far as bullet weight and recoil, the lighter the bullet in a 9mm, the lighter the recoil. The most common LW 9mm is 115 gr., but you can find 105 and 92.5 and 90 gr. if you look. But for defensive use I would use the 124 gr. and 147 gr. in a high quality hollow point like Federal, Hornady, Winchester or Cor Bon.
