Do yourself a favor and stay away from 9mm for home defense unless you live in the middle of no where and don't have to worry about over penetration and possibly killing an innocent by-stander. The 9mm is notorious for over-penetration.
You would really be better off with a 5.56mm that if you happen to miss and hit the drywall..it will essentially disintegrate upon impact

Say what??? I've put .223 FMJ through 8" trees! I've also put it through 1/4 boiler plate, where the steel looked like it was penetrated by a drill bit. It might get deflected, but it certainly won't disintegrate.
A 9mm frangible round or Glaser blue dot would be fine for in-home defense.
