Speer Gold Dot has been a popular duty load for law enforcement agencies around the world. Now, it will be fielded by the French National Police, the National Gendarmerie, Customs Police, and the Penitentiary Administration. Speer Ammunition has just been awarded a four-year duty ammo contract with these agencies. Bad guys of France, beware!

“We are extremely pleased with this prestigious contract award,” said Speer’s President Jason Vanderbrink. “It validates the high level of trust the international law enforcement agencies have with our extremely reliable and innovative products.”
French Police Award Speer Ammunition Duty Ammo Contract
Between the agencies mentioned above, about 250,000 government employees will be carrying firearms loaded with Gold Dot 124-grain 9mm duty ammo. The new contract will span across the next four years and create 20 million rounds of ammunition. Gold Dot cases are nickel-plated for corrosion resistance and the primers are sealed for reliable ignition. The 124-grain bullet uses a lead core that is bonded to the jacket. This is designed to minimize the separation of the core as the bullet impacts the target and expands.
“The use of Gold Dot technology in this contract ammunition ensures the highest performance threshold and absolute confidence in performance,” said Vice President of Law Enforcement, Government, and International Sales David Leis. “We are proud to produce ammunition that meets and exceeds our customer’s strict requirements.”
