Speer 9mm Gold Dot Two (G2)

[STEEL CORE]

Never heard of it, anybody have it?
Keislers Police Supply in Jeffersonville is selling it to the LE Crowd at $39.95 a box of fifty.

Nope. Nor do I believe it to be relevant. Gold dots have been a proven standard and unless g2 costs as much as gold dots, not worth it in my opinion.

Just from the picture it looks like a PMC Starfire bullet configuration, just have never seen this type of GD (Gold Dot) round, and was wondering if any of our readers had experience with it. I have 124 +P Speer GD in my 9mm Glocks already.

In just a bit of Googling it appears that this is a better barrier penetrator than the standard GD.

Strange that I didn't find anything on their website...

If you follow Ballistic Radio he tested a bunch of this a couple weeks ago. They're 147 grain instead of 124, and he had iffy results. Speer had him send some back to them for testing thinking he got a bad batch. I'll stick to Federal HST

If it works in your gun and goes where you aim it, the differences in the modern SD ammo from the major players is very little. HST, Critical Duty/Defense, Gold Dot etc. I'd trust my life with.

Some info found here. At $40 a box of 50, I'll keep carrying my 124+P Speer GD or 147 Fed HST.
