It sounds like a good plan to me, and I would carry it.
A 124 grain 9mm at 1,200 fps should knock the heck outa of barney-bad-boy, every time it is needed.
Even a NATO load with a FMJ has its uses, such as injuring a spinal cord, starting from a frontal shot.
See, yuh gotta look at the bright side of things. :twisted:
If follow-up shots are difficult with that load, keep trying to tame the beast.
Use a two handed hold, and increase your bottom grip, tighter and tighter, until it controls the muzzle-flip.
It sounds good on paper anyway.
Here are the stats for Win NATO 124 Grain at Midway.com
And even at 1,140 fps, it maintains 350+ foot pounds. That is a good number and I think that it is a winner.

If you look at Midway, then look at the Fiocchi 124 grain 9mm.
They are claiming 1,250 fps with a 9mm, 124 grain bullet. That is 420 foot pounds of ME, and that is an exceptional number.
