20 Rounds of 124gr JHP 9mm Ammo by Speer Gold Dot

The 9x19mm Luger/Parabellum was designed in 1901 and first found its way into the hands of German manufacturers in 1902 thanks to Georg Luger. The Germans first used it for their semi-auto Luger but it didn’t take long for the cartridge to gain popularity and see widespread use on a global level. Today the 9mm is the best-selling semi-auto cartridge on the market and has seen every use from law enforcement to military to private citizens. If you carry a 9mm for self-defense purposes, it’s absolutely vital you keep it loaded with good-quality defense ammunition.

These particular 9mm rounds are made by Speer. Each round weighs in at 124 grain which makes them a bit lightweight for the cartridge size. Being lighter weight enables them to travel towards targets at higher speeds and also helps keep felt recoil manageable. These are JHP, Jacketed Hollow Point, rounds and begin to expand immediately upon impact. They decelerate as the mushroom, creating a large, devastating wound cavity. This ammunition is designed for self-defense purposes.

When you order this single box of ammunition from Speer you get 20 defense rounds. With 20 rounds you can keep your gun loaded and ready for self-defense, but if you want to train realistically, order multiple boxes. Defense ammunition produces more felt recoil than target ammunition and that means you’ll need to practice to ensure accuracy and placement. Each of these Gold Dot defense rounds produces a muzzle velocity of 1150 feet per second and muzzle energy of 364 foot-pounds. Speer manufactures ammunition at their longtime factory in Lewiston, Idaho. Order now and be prepared to defend yourself.
