200 Rounds of 9mm +P Ammo by Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel - 124gr JHP

Plink with any kind of bargain bin 9mm ammo you can get your hands on. A failure to fire won’t kill you. But if you’re choosing ammo for defense – where a failure to fire most certainly can send you down the River Styx – invest in something designed to satisfy the exacting standards of law enforcement officers.

Speer’s Gold Dot ammo is among the best of the best. Their Gold Dot Short Barrel ammunition takes that same trusted performance and refines it for peak reliability in a subcompact handgun. This ammo’s consistent chamber pressure, low-friction nickel-plated brass cases, and smooth-feeding bullets all behave just like you want them to when danger’s afoot. Better yet, the JHP is calibrated to unleash wide expansion even if it has cleared a barrel as diminutive as 1.9 inches.

The Gold Dot Short Barrel jacketed hollow point is bonded. That means its jacket is fused so tightly to its lead core that the two remain virtually inseparable during barrier penetration. Passage through heavy clothing, drywall, or even sheet metal may remove some percentage of the JHP’s weight, but not to a degree that renders effectively deep penetration impossible.

This round’s 1,150 fps (supersonic) muzzle velocity was recorded with a 3.5” test barrel. If that sounds high for a 124 grain bullet, then that’s because it is – the result of overpressurization during ignition. A +P round like this one does indeed strike its target harder. So long as you don’t mind the added recoil – and your pistol’s explicitly designed for +P ammo – then Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel gives you that much better chance of neutralizing the threat before the threat can do the same to you.

Made in the great state of Idaho!
