Know of any in either practice/range fmj's (round or flat nose) or Self-Defense you've had trouble with shooting in your LC9S?

I will not be buying any PMC or Critical Duty.
So far, I've shot only Blazer 115 gr, round nose, fmj's to first zero the pistol and then practice. They work very well, but this is range ammo only, not self-defense.
In my g19 I carry Speer Gold Dot, 124 gr, JHP's, and that what I was going to carry in my LC9S, but I recently saw a test where these rounds were shot into ballistic gel. The first 3 were in the zone of 16" or so which is a FBI acceptable penetration distance, but the fourth went 32" (going all the way through the first block of gelatin and into the second) which is unacceptably penetrative. The Federal HST's worked far better for acceptable penetration. Of many shot, not one exceeded 17". I will be trying some and will report back, probably after Christmas. I won't have a penetration report, but just if they cycle well or not...
