See More Information

This 9mm Speer Gold Dot JHP ammunition is designed for personal defense to provide the ultimate defense that you can rely on when facing a confrontation.

Speer Gold Dot Ammunition is loaded with bonded core bullets and designed for critical defense needs.

Bonding the jacket to the core means the elimination of core-jacket separation and superior weight retention making it more effective than traditional hollow-point bullets in the event that the bullet encounters bone or heavy clothing upon entry.

This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable nickel-plated brass cases.

Ballistic Gel Test

Ballistic gel test for 9mm - 147 Grain JHP - Speer Gold Dot - 20 Rounds

Ballistics Test Summary

We wanted to know exactly what happens to a self-defense handgun bullet on impact, so following FBI protocols, we fired five rounds of Speer 147 gr Gold Dot from 10 feet, through four layers of cloth (to simulate clothing), into synthetic ballistic gelatin. The photos below show the bullets recovered from the gelatin after being fired from a Smith & Wesson M&P9C pistol. There’s also a high speed video that shows the bullet impacting the gelatin block.

All the data we gathered pertaining to expansion and penetration of this load can be found in the chart below, and the diagrams at the bottom of the page show how it compares to other 9mm Luger (9x19) self-defense loads from our tests.

In addition to the 9mm Luger (9x19) Speer 147 gr Gold Dot, we tested over 100 other self-defense loads, so check out Lucky Gunner Labs for the full story.

Q: What was the barrel length used to test this gold dot 147gr 9mm? Thank you! (Sorry if I missed it)

Posted On: 10/13/2020 By: cooley

A: This round's muzzle velocity was recorded out of a 4" test barrel. Unfortunately this ammo is out of stock at the moment, but we have got 9mm +P Gold Dot available: luckygunner.com/9mm-124-grain-p-jhp-speer-le-gold-dot-duty-50-rounds

Q: Good day guys. The average penetration depth is excellent, but according to what I see in this litterature the expansion of the hollow point is not great. Any comments.

Posted On: 3/19/2019 By: Hennie van der Walt

A: Hi Hennie. I do see what you are discussing. The only real need for expansion in a self defense/duty round is, in reality, to stop over-penetration. A well documented fact is that with the low velocity of handgun ammunition, with any round, expansion is going to be "iffy". Penetration is the top criteria for these rounds. No round has the "street proven" effectiveness as the Gold Dots. I wouldn't get be nearly concerned with expansion as I am with reliability and penetration. Gold Dots will serve you very well

Q: whats muzzle energy for this

Posted On: 11/15/2018 By: MARK MCINTYRE

A: According to our testing with an average muzzle velocity of 955fps this would deliver approximately 298 ft.lbs or force.
