- 50 Rounds of 9mm Ammo by Speer LE - 124gr JHP
Details
Designed by renowned bullet manufacturer Speer, Gold Dot JHPs
rank among the most popular ammunition for self-defense and law enforcement in
the United States.
This particular loading of the Gold Dot drives a 124 grain bullet from the muzzle at 1150 fps. It offers balanced penetration and power with relatively gentle recoil, characteristics which made it the favored duty load for multiple agencies including the NYPD.
To enable you to get a reasonable amount of testing and practice in with your ammo, Speer offers the Gold Dot in a reasonably priced 50-round box. This ammunition feeds very reliably, so stock up and see for yourself why hundreds of thousands of CCW practitioners and LEOs across America count on Gold Dots for personal protection.
This is a standard pressure loading; while it gives up some velocity to its +P counterpart, it generates less felt recoil and muzzle flash and maintains compatibility with all weapons chambered in 9mm Parabellum. This contributes to an increased effective rate of fire and makes standard pressure Gold Dots a perfect carry load for a pocket-sized firearm such as a Sig P938, Kahr PM9, or Springfield XD-S.
In creating the Gold Dot, Speer identified core-jacket separation as a major reason JHPs failed to perform in their intended role of stopping assailants in lethal force situations. Gold Dots’ chief innovation is a proprietary two-step bonding process that fuses the core to the jacket at a molecular level, minimizing any chance of separation and ensuring that the whole bullet survives to transfer its energy into the target. The bonding process is a highly adaptable procedure, enabling Speer to optimize each Gold Dot loading (caliber and weight) for both expansion and penetration.
Speer is a well-known Idaho-based manufacturer of both bullets and loaded ammo. The company supplies many other ammunition loaders with bullets including its highly popular proprietary Gold Dot line. However, Speer’s own in-house offerings enjoy immense popularity with police officers and citizens due to their proven effectiveness and reasonable price point.

Ordered both Speer Gold Dot JHP defensive ammo and Blazer FMJ. My experience with bulkammo was great and I will be ordering more in the future.

My family and I are now enjoying freedom this year after moving out of NY and down to FL, especially enjoying firearms for the first time, finally. Ammo can be pretty expensive if you only buy it at your local range. Thank you to my son for researching and finding Bulkammo. We first ordered 1,000 rounds of Blazer FMJ 115 grain and also ordered the Speer Gold Dot JHP defensive rounds. Ammo arrived pretty quickly and in great condition. The prices are so much better than at the gun shop as well. I will be ordering more from bulkammo in the future. (Posted on 7/25/2022)

I recently purchased some of this ammo to try my Springfield Amory Hellcat. With the short barrels in the micro pistols I wanted to see and test what this ammo would be like if I wanted to carry the 124 grain as my PDA. I can honestly say the recoil felt like I was shooting 115 grain practice ammo and the accuracy was really good. This now is my ammo of choice for my everyday carry weapon. Also Bulk Ammo made the transaction a very painless one and I will be back. (Posted on 7/25/2021)
As a LEO in Florida Speer is what we carried. Never had a failure.

Been firing Speer handgun ammo in general and the 9mm 124gr JHP is easy firing, relatively clean and I always found it reliable. I shoot the 124gra self-defense rds only about once a year when I rotate my duty ammo and after 9-10yrs am still a believer in this ammo. Have seen some rounds embedded in wood blocks and it looks to expand well. Recommending this ammo for self-defense. (Posted on 8/30/2019)
Shoots like 115 grain FMJ

Let me begin by saying I am a relative new comer to the shooting world (I bought my first handgun 2 Mo's ago), so I haven't a great deal of experience to draw comparisons from. What I can say is that my accuracy with this ammo is comparable to what I achieve with the 115 gr. Fiocchi FMJ that I normally shoot with at the range. Surprisingly, the felt recoil with my S&W SD9VE was also the same. I think I made a good choice to use this as my self defense round, and I know I made a good choice buying from Bulk Ammo: fast, reliable delivery at a good price. (Posted on 8/7/2017)

Q: Have 9 mm smith and Wesson . What ammo do you recommend ?
Posted On: 9/23/2020 By: Bill Dodd
A: Hello Bill! Well, you're in luck. Although we have a somewhat limited selection at the moment courtesy of the ongoing ammo drought, we have got what I consider to be one of the best 9mm rounds for self-defense on the market: https://www.bulkammo.com/bulk-9mm-ammo-9mm124grjhpspeergd-50. This is law enforcement ammo that's also available to the public, with a bonded hollow point bullet that consistently defeats barriers and expands within soft tissue. Your S&W is designed to safely fire 9mm +P ammo, which offers a boosted muzzle velocity so that it can deliver a flatter shot trajectory and more energy throughout penetration. Just take care that overpressure ammo like this will wear out a semi-auto faster. That doesn't matter for self-defense, but you'll want to avoid firing it a lot at the range.
If this ammo doesn't suit you, please check in again soon – our invnetory updates frequently, and I can answer any other questions you might have.
