I don't think the there is enough, if any, cost savings to use plated over jacketed. I like Blue Bullets 147 RN. Little smoke indoors, none that I notice outdoors. Reduce your load, then chronograph until you get between 130-135 PF. I use a 9# ISMI recoil spring and 15# mainspring if I use Federal primers, 17# for anything else. With a 9mm, you will be closer to the weight limit, so use a steel recoil rod if you can, aluminum if you must, tungsten if your lucky. You can mill some weight out of the slide to reduce reciprocating mass. Than should lessen muzzle rise. I'd suggest with 9mm, grip it harder.
