This Speer Gold Dot 9mm Luger 124gr hollow point comes as a box of 20 rounds (Speer part no. 23618GD) in the Speer Gold Dot Handgun Personal Protection line. Speer rates it at 1150 fps from a 4-inch test barrel. The Gold Dot hollow point sits on a pressure-formed lead core bonded to the jacket one atom at a time, a build Speer says holds retained weight through barriers. Nickel-plated brass and a sealed primer round out a cartridge meant for self-defense and duty carry. It is the 124-grain choice for shooters who want a conventional 9mm Luger load rather than a +P one.
