Concealed carry holders and police officers around the country count on Speer Gold Dot ammunition to help them stay safe in a self-defense emergency. These 9mm Luger +P cartridges use a high-pressure load that trades increased recoil for enhanced expansion and penetration. This is a worthwhile tradeoff for shooters who find the kick of standard pressure 9mm Parabellum ammo easy to handle.

Each cartridge in this case of 500 fires a 124 grain bonded hollow point bullet at a muzzle velocity of 1,220 feet per second. This combination of a medium weight bullet fired at a high velocity ensures rapid unfolding of the petals and a relatively low risk of over penetration. Speer Gold Dot bullets are molecularly bonded to eliminate the risk of the core and jacket separating; each bullet variant is specially optimized for power level and weight to obtain the best performance for the user.

Speer ammunition is loaded in Lewiston, Idaho using non-corrosive Boxer primers and nickel plated brass cases. Nickel plating isn't just for show; it enhances the durability of the casing and helps ensure reliable performance even after the round has been carried every day for a long period of time.

Ballistics Test Summary

As part of our ongoing self-defense ammo testing project, we used Clear Ballistics synthetic gelatin to evaluate the performance of Speer 124 Grain. Five rounds were fired from a Smith & Wesson M&P9C into the gel with a four-layer cloth barrier to simulate an attacker wearing heavy clothing.

The top image in the photo above shows the first round fired into the gel and the bottom photo displays all five rounds. Below on the left, you can see what the bullets look like after they were recovered from the gel. To the right of that, you’ll find a high-speed video of the first round fired into the gel. At the bottom of the page, we’ve got a chart with all the data from our Speer 124 Grain test along with a couple of charts that show how this load compared to other 9mm Luger (9x19) loads.
