Don't ask us, ask the pistol.
Get a box of as many different 9 mmP loads as you can find.
Go to the range and fire a few 5-shot groups with each different load to judge accuracy and functioning. The load that produces the best groups is the one to use.

The owners manual warns that the "extended use" of +P or +P+ rounds will shorten the life of components of the pistol. Sub-machine gun ammunition should also not be used due to the high pressures usually produced by those rounds. Additionally, they warn against shooting jacketed bullets after shooting lead bullets. All the lead should be removed before attempting to fire jacketed bullets. If you question is about a good self-defense round there is a lot of debate about the best round. My choice is the 127 gr. Winchester Ranger RA9TA, it is a +P+ round so you need to use something else for practice in your Beretta. No doubt some will opt for a heavier bullet, but the stats I've found seem to indicate that in 9mm velocity is more important than bullet weight. By the way the Ranger line is sold as Law Enforcement ammunition by Winchester, but the general public can buy it when they can find it.

Find out if your Beretta is rated for +P ammo. If it is not (and I am not sure that it is), then go with a good quality defensive ammo like 124 grain Federal Hydra Shok.
Best.

I use winchester 115 gr. ammo. I have also used CCI Blazer with no problems. I get both from wal-mart. they seem to be the cheapest. My favorite ammo to use though is Fiocchi. It is a little higher in price, but all my guns love it. A little more of a pop compared to the Wins and CCIs. Fiocchi you can by at a local gun shop.

Good choice of gun, it will handle any 9mm rounds that you care to feed it. Avoid prolonged use of +P, as in any auto, it accelerates wear on all parts. Keep it loaded with +P if it is for defence, but use standard ammo for most of your practice.

I imagine it will work with most any 9mm. I'd stay away from +p and +p+ unless it specifically says it's ok. Just try different ammo and go with whatever cycles and is accurate.

most factory made ammo will work well in firearms try to limit the use of +p rounds and nato standard rounds
