Speer Gold Dot Handgun Personal Protection Ammunition 9mm Luger 124gr JHP 1150 fps 50/ct
The Speer Gold Dot 9mm Luger 124gr JHP handgun ammunition is purpose-built for personal protection and has earned a strong reputation among law enforcement and civilian carriers alike. This 50-round box delivers reliable, consistent performance at 1,150 feet per second—a velocity engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration through common barriers. If you trust your life to your carry gun, the ammunition deserves the same rigorous design.
What sets Gold Dot apart is its bonded construction: a pressure-formed lead core fused to a uniform jacket that virtually eliminates jacket-core separation on impact. That matters because retained bullet weight translates directly to reliable penetration to the depths that stop threats. The signature Gold Dot hollow-point cavity expands consistently whether it encounters clothing, drywall, or automotive glass—you're not gambling on performance regardless of what's between you and the target.
The brass casing is nickel-plated for smooth feeding and reliable extraction, while sealed primers ensure ignition consistency from round to round. This is ammunition built to the standard that professional duty carriers demand, and it's available in the quantity you need for practice and carry rotation.
