9mm - 147 Grain Bonded HP - Speer LE Gold Dot G2 - 50 Rounds

These Gold Dot G2 cartridges from Speer are the perfect complement to your 9mm carry pistol. Each of these rounds is constructed using a reloadable brass casing that has a clean-sparking Boxer primer at its base and smooth, near-frictionless nickel-coating all around its body. This nickel treatment makes feeding and ejection almost seamless for dependable function with each trigger pull. The casing is crimped to a hollow-point projectile that weighs in at 147 grains; this is a common heavyweight in the 9x19mm caliber and offers deep penetration, effective energy transfer, and subsonic muzzle velocity for compatibility with silencers. Speer’s Gold Dot G2 hollow-point bullet is made by permanently bonding copper plating to a lead core. This results in a projectile that resists splintering and shedding for ultimate weight retention during entry into a target. As the bullet travels into a threat, its hollow cavity promotes wide expansion which slows the bullet and allows its energy to ruin internal organs and arteries. The G2 revision adds elastomer to the hollow cavity which resists clogging from leather and denim in order to preserve the bullet’s wounding capacity no matter what barriers it passes through. Speer Gold Dot rounds are often used by federal law enforcement agencies due to their low flash and street-proven record for lethality. The ammunition is American made and backed by almost 90 years of expertise.

45 ACP - 155 Grain RHT Frangible - Speer Lawman - 50 Rounds

Even the most cautious shooter is subject to certain dangers when they train. Shooting at steel targets and against hard backdrops presents a real risk of splash-back, where copper and lead fragments ricochet back to do serious damage. Splash-back is also a common problem at indoor ranges, where poor ventilation may also cause toxic lead to linger in a carcinogenic haze! But Speer’s Lawman line of ammunition works to make all those risks moot. This 45 ACP cartridge features Speer’s 155 grain Reduced Hazard Training projectile. The frangible bullet is comprised of 100 percent compressed copper particles, which are hardened but not fused together in a process called sintering. The RHT accordingly stays intact as it feeds and fires, but crushes itself into powder when it slaps a steel target or other hard surface. And in conjunction with this round’s heavy metal free Clean-Fire primer, the RHT poses no threat of producing airborne lead that could have accumulated indoors. This round’s lightweight bullet grants it a fast muzzle velocity, although you will find Speer’s training ammo reliably mimics many other conventional self-defense loads. Speer gives their RHT a distinctive pattern on its tip for easy identification, and complements it with a new brass case and clean burning propellant for superior functionality in a semi-auto.
