I don't use +P rounds, Gold Dot 124 grn standard pressure. More accurate in my P9 than anything else.

Gold Dot +p because it feeds well in all my 9s. Gun shows around here have them for $20/50 and I've got a bunch. Never tried the Win load but either one that feeds well and shoots well would probably be fine. Chronographs 1121 fps out of 3.1" barrel and 1200 out of 4".

I use Gold Dot +P's in my G34 & 92FS; mainly because the local gun shop carries it.

It's good stuff.

I'd buy a box or 2 of each, shoot them and determine which one your gun likes best. Doesn't matter how awesome the round is if your gun won't shoot it accurately or it malfunction with it.

I have used Speer Gold Dot in the past and I have complete confidence in them. They are always a good choice for any self defense gun.

The 2 choices didn't work for me. I use Speer .40, 155,, ghdp

I use the Ranger T. They work fine in my pistols and come 50 to a box. I have never seen the LE Gold Dot, but if they are 50 to a box also, I will give them a look!

This is the best answer I've read so far and my answer too.

Didn't vote because I've never tried either of these loads. I can't imagine performance to be materially different between them. Both should be effective with good hits and neither will make up for bad hits.

Ammunition to Go has the Speer LE Gold Dots in boxes of 50 for about the same price as the Ranger T's. Check them out.
