Whats the best 9mm ammo for accuracy?

CCI 124 gr.+p Gold Dots & Winchester Ranger 127 gr. +p SXT's are generally accepted by many as being some of, if not the best "self-defense" carry rounds.
They are issued to many police. depts. & other agencies who have had good success with them according to reports.
The CCI Gold Dots are also very accurate in my experience compared to "cheap" range ammo.
Federal Hyra-shoks are usually very accurate in many different loadings & calibers as well.
It's critical when testing for accuracy to take as many "human error" factors out of the equation as possible by using a benchrest or other means of creating a stable, consistent shooting platform.

Well, he has a 357 sig now, so I guess it doesn't really matter at this point 
i enjoy all this discussion like this let people know the real world to shootin i usualy target practice 0-25 yards with my hangun unless its the 357 mag then 50 yards any further ill grab a rifle.cant see much further without a scope.And yea just traded for a glock 32 with the 40& 357sig barrel.Hey but the Beretta is an awesome weapon & 9mm is good round.
I know I am excited. Always wanted an M9A1 since they came out.
And I hate DA/SA guns....go figure
yea me to ive always wanted a glock & love 40cal & been wanting a 357sig since they came out cant believe how it is all coming together.
Black Hills makes some of the best ammo for accuracy. For defense the Speer Gold Dot 124 +P and Winchester Ranger 127 +P+ are generally regarded as the top rounds. You're paying for a premium bullet and utmost consistency (which makes them accurate).
Big BIG difference between shooting a DA/SA gun like a beretta, and a gun with a good trigger system like a glock or 1911. Glocks and 1911's are MUCH easier to be accurate with.
Premium rounds are often more accurate. On two separate occasions years ago when I was taking classes as a student while shooting drills all of the sudden my "groups" really tightened up compared to how I had been shooting... as in going into one ragged hole at some distance.
After the drill concluded & being a little puzzled cause we had been shooting all day & you kind of learn how you shoot, I dropped out my mag. & let out a small burst of light profanity... the Instructor came over & asked what was wrong.
I said," I just shot my frickin' Hydra-shoks that cost me $1 each!!!" I had been shooting Wolf which back then cost me $5.99 per box of 50.
The Instructor & the rest of the class thought my discomfort to be quite humorous.
