Speer Gold Dot Personal Protection ammunition (part no. 53617GD) loads 9mm Luger +P with a 124 grain hollow point bullet, one of the most widely trusted defensive loadings sold for daily carry. Speer builds the Gold Dot bullet with a bonded core that fuses jacket to lead, so it expands reliably and resists the jacket-core separation that can rob a standard hollow point of penetration. The nickel-plated brass case adds corrosion resistance for a round that may sit in a magazine for months at a time, and the +P pressure pushes the 124 grain bullet to a brisk 1220 feet per second for added stopping power.
