The Speer Gold Dot 9mm Luger +P 124gr hollow point is a box of 20 rounds of self-defense ammunition (Speer part no. 23617GD) from the Speer Gold Dot Handgun Personal Protection line. Speer rates this +P load at 1220 fps from a 4-inch test barrel. The bullet is a Gold Dot hollow point built on a pressure-formed lead core that is bonded to the jacket, and the cartridge is loaded in nickel-plated brass with a sealed primer. Speer describes the Gold Dot line as a benchmark for both self-defense and duty use. It suits a carry or home-defense handgun chambered in 9mm Luger.
