Speer - Jacketed Hollow Point - 124 Grain 9mm +P Ammo - 50 Rounds

If you don’t mind the added recoil – and if your 9mm firearm is rated for +P ammunition – then Speer LE Gold Dot Duty Ammunition is quite possibly your best choice for self-defense. It’s favored by countless law enforcement agencies across the land, and the only thing that makes it different from Speer Personal Protection 9mm +P is its packaging.

The Gold Dot is a premium jacketed hollow point bullet. Once Speer pressure-forms its alloyed lead core, they submerge it in an electrified chemical bath that assembles its jacket one atom at a time. The result is a highly concentric jacket, which gives the Gold Dot the rotational stability it needs to exhibit good accuracy. Its bonded jacket also fortifies the Gold Dot considerably. Even penetration of safety glass at 10 feet will only remove about 17% of the 124 grain bullet’s weight – the reason why it can still penetrate to a depth of 15 inches afterward.

The Gold Dot’s nose cavity is designed to function correctly after penetrating a wide range of barriers. Heavy fabric, car doors, plywood and sheetrock will not rob the Gold Dot of its ability to deliver effective terminal expansion.

This ammo features sealed primers, clean-burning powder, and nickel-plated brass cases. Lubricious nickel reduces friction to promote smoother semi-automatic operation. Nickel’s superior corrosion resistance is a welcome bonus as well.
