9mm bullet weight for competition

What weight should a 9mm bullet be?
The most common heavy 9mm bullet is 147 grain, and they go as low as 100-115 grains.
While grain is important for whatever bullet you're shooting, it matters far more in long-range marksmanship than short-range self-defense.
So don't get too hung up on grain regarding handgun rounds.
Why use 147 grain 9mm ammo?
Answer: 147 grain 9mm loads were developed for use by US Navy SEALS in suppressed 9mm submachine guns.
They are heavy and subsonic for a reason.
In handguns, such rounds offer terminal performance that is underwhelming, to say the least.
Federal® 9mm NATO features military-quality 124-grain FMJ bullets loaded to more powerful, higher-velocity specifications than rounds typically offered for the consumer market.

What is the best grain weight for 9mm competition?

Competition/Target Shooting
Typically, a 115-grain 9mm FMJ will be all you need, and you can get something on the slower side if you're just plinking or go with a higher-velocity round if you need to be able to knock over steel plates or something reliably.

Most Open Division shooters prefer using 115–125 gr (7.5–8.1 g) bullets for their 9mm Major loads. Lighter bullets require more gunpowder weight to achieve the necessary velocity compared to heavier bullets using the same gunpowder, resulting in more gas for the compensator.
