Are you going to carry it with 115-grain FMJ? What's important at the range is small, consistent groups. "Accuracy" (as opposed to "precision") is important in the real world, where you need to hit where you're aiming. And not many people carry 9mm 115-grain FMJ for self defense.
I recently built a Para-Ordnance 9mm Officers -- a model that they never offered, created from parts sourced here and there. I've always carried .45 ACP, so I reached out to one of our long-standing members, Wichaka, who is a retired police officer and police firearms trainer, for advice on carry ammunition. His answer was:
Cool. I have several boxes of Golden Saber 124-grain, so that's my carry ammo. For practice, since I don't care to burn up dollar-a-shot ammo at the range, I'm loading Berry's 124-grain hybrid hollow points, and I've settled on a load that's pretty close to the factory Golden Saber in velocity. I would suggest deciding what you intend to carry, shooting some of that, and then adjust the sights (if necessary) to suit that ammunition.9mm…124gr HST, Ranger T, or Golden Saber…non bonded…standard pressure.
