The Speer Gold Dot that I'm carrying qualifies as SD Ammo right?

-nick

I went to my local store, and the owner recommended Speer GoldDot cartrdges, so I picked up a box of 20 for like $15 or something.

They are 45 AUTO +P 200 GR. GDHP, which he said would go well in a smaller, more compact pistol with shorter barrell. -- I think...if I heard correctly anyway.

So -

Advantages of defense ammo? More spread so you don't get a "shoot through", goes through glass and walls and stops in people?

Am I on the right track?

Thanks alot!

So - what are some examples of defensive ammo? I'm gonna run by my local shop and see what they have and know about this as well.

Anyone else have anything that may help me along? Thanks a bunch,

I understand the concept of defensive ammo, but can someone elaborate more. I'm trying to find out exactly what it is, what it does different than a box of "normal ammo." Are they hollowpoints that are hot loaded?

Also, JHP - is that jacketed hollow point im guessing? and what does +P mean along with other variants of that term?

Thanks for the help! I'm trying to learn what I can!
