Speer Gold Dot 9mm 124 gr +P

Brief overview, shooting, and evaluation of the Speer Gold Dot, 9mm 124 gr +P. This is a very popular cartridge for Law Enforcement and the law-abiding citizen. Test platform was a Glock 19, using jugs packed with wet newspaper. Just trying to gain a basic concept of penetration and expansion in this type of media.

On this channel, there is also a similar test for the 147 grain Gold Dot.

PLEASE NOTE: Ballistic tests such as this will provide a representation of handgun cartridge performance in a controlled environment. Please bear in mind that self-defense scenarios include multiple variables that will impact actual ballistic performance.

@SupremeAmerican A fucking hi-point? Are you shitting me? Those are the cheapest most useless pieces of shit $200 can buy. I think I'll stick with my Smith and Wessons and Rugers.

@jasongtivr6 like the .45, i have a couple of those two, and they are the best, but they are a little big when i am in shorts and a t-shirt. i carry what i can hide. a 9mm gold dot, golden sabre, etc is nothing to laugh at.

@TheL4dgamer

I once got into an argument with a buddy of mine over Hi-Points guns. He said to me "if you had 200 to spend and needed something for self defense, you woudln't buy a hi-point." I said no. He asked, "well what then." I responded with "I would buy 10 boxes of hollow points and get really good at throwing."

@SupremeAmerican sorry im atheist so now i think that your hi-point is a bigger pice of shit

@jasongtivr6 I really don't understand the folks who disrespect the 9mm. It's a cheap, widely available round--read, that's a good thing, especially if you're considering WROL scenarios. People seem to forget that 99% of the game is being able to put rounds in the right place and be the first one doing it. If I pop a couple of 9mm hollow points into your chest cavity, you're going down, fellah. If you *do* keep coming, it's not because I didn't use a .40 caliber, okay?

@TheL4dgamer actaully the 9mm ain't bad. my buddy picked one up at a pawn shop (he didn't know any better). i shot it about 40 rounds and it wasn't too bad. very ugly gun though. lol

u can diss on hi point but i have a hi point c9 and it will put rounds where i want them to go granted it has a few mess ups but if some one pointed one at me i would be scared

[theschizoid1]

@TheL4dgamer no shit!

[kilomdm]

My hi point is the shit yo.

[jasongtivr6]
