Hornady Critical DUTY Tactical 9mm Luger 135 Grain Handgun Ammo vs Hornady Critical Defense 9mm Luger 115 Grain Handgun Ammo

Hornady Ceitical Duty is excellent for 4” or longer barrels. For anything else 124 HET (standard or plus p doesn’t matter) Indianapolis PD uses 124 HST and gives dirt nap room temperature to about everyone they shoot. KS State Troopers, Texas DPS US Marshals and FBI use Critical Duty and same they dirt nap about everyone.

124 Gold Dot is also a great choose as NYPD has proven.

Find one that feeds and works in your gun
 
Critical Duty tends to under expand and over penetrate in short barrels.

Critical Defense can under penetrate, and can have feed issues with some pistols (including XD’s).

I’d consider something like Federal HST, Speer Gold Dot, Winchester PDX1/Defender (or Ranger-T if you can find it), or Remington Golden Saber…even a Hornady XTP over them.

Either way, be sure to vet your chosen carry load by putting at least a couple magazines worth through it.
This. It's tough to beat Gold Dot.
