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 or a 12ga. loaded with something like #8 shot.
Getting woken up in the middle of the night and grabbing a gun and shooting your target and hitting it...is not the easiest thing to do. Think about how often you actually hit your target dead-on at the range under perfectly controlled conditions.
Of course disregard anything I said here if you care less about getting sued, losing your home, family and possibly going to prison, all because you missed your target.
Just my .2 cents -- But why risk it?

I have to disagree anything that will not penetrate drywall will not stop a man let alone some doped up loon. A 9mm is a good home defence round, just when you pull the trigger be sure to hit your target and choose ammo that will not overpenetrate. Drywall will not stop a 5.56, i dont know where you heard that but you might want to do some research. However if im wrong show me proof and ill be glad to admit im wrong.
