 I haven't seen any  90gr bullets. At 1400 to 1500 fps they are simply marvelous. I use both 115's and 90 grain rounds. My concern is over penatration. They tend to dump all of the energy into the target.

The main bullet weight I run in all of my 9x19mm Pistols is 124 grain and my main IPSC Match load runs a Berry's 124 grain Flat Point at 1120 fps from a charge of WST.
I do have a stock of Precision Delta 124 grain Match JHP's and plan to work up a load using Alliant Green Dot or VihtaVouri N330.

A secondary loading I often use runs a 115 grain FMJ at 1170 fps from a charge of Alliant Red Dot.

I have experimented with the lighter 88 to 100 grain Bullets and have come up with some impressive velocities using Alliant Red Dot, and they produced excellent results on Varmints.
Particularly, the CCI/Speer 100 grain JHP, which I got to 1320 fps.

I did experiment with 147 grain Match Bullets at 950 fps, but I found Cz's and the Clones thereof, tended to vertically string them.
My Taurus 92 and Walther P38's liked them well enough, but I did not see the added expense of that Bullet weight to be worth my trouble.

At some time in the future, I can see experimenting with the 135 grain Bullet weight, if for nothing else but to satisfy my curiosity.
