Looks like a good mid-range place to start.

I run 3.8grs out of my suppressed Glock 17 and it just barely cycles the action, runs good in the Ruger PPC.

I find with tite group you need to go close to or at max to have it run better. Light loads just make it dirty

I just made up some of those.
147 gr Xtreme Plated Hollow Point, 3.45 gr Titegroup.
Cycles, and locks slide, moderate recoil in...
G17,
G26,
CZ p10s,
Girsan p35.
I was looking for decent accuracy in the Girsan, a Hi-Power clone.
The gun looks great, just has disapointing accuracy, and I see no reason why.
Seems to do best with heavy, slow loads.
I ran COL's from 1.080 to 1.169. The long ones just barely fit in the mags.
The Girsan seemed to prefer the longer rounds.
The standout was the p10s...it shot both long and short extremely well.
The G17 did not like the 147's much, the G26 was good.
I settled on 1.105 for COL. The longer loads fed but were "notchy" feeding, especially in the p10s.
3.9 gr Accurate #2, at 1.159 ish was softer shooting with better accuracy in the G17, and p35.

4.2 grains of CFE Pistol beneath a 147 grain coated or plated bullet is my go to 9mm target round in a full size pistol.

I run 3.5gr of Titegroup for all of my loads with a goal of staying subsonic and cycling.

I originally loaded 115gr FMJ for my integrally suppressed 9mm AR. This kept the round subsonic and cycled the action.

When I added a can to my Glock 34, those loads would not cycle the action. I tried some 124gr and 147gr JHP from Everglades. The 124's ran ok, but the 147's run good in all of my guns and the same 3.5gr worked for my goals. I have run through a few thousand of these.

I am running mixed head stamped brass with mixed amount of cycles on it. I shoot, throw it back in the bucket, tumble, inspect, progressive reload, shoot.

That's a pretty stout load of Tite Group using a 147 gr. bullet.
