Do they make +P Speer Gold Dots in 50 round boxes?

So I'm sure most of you that have bought this ammo know you can get Speer Gold Dots in 50 round boxes of 9mm for about the same as the 20 round boxes. Anyway, I keep seeing 50 round boxes in both 124 grain and 147 grain however neither are ever +P ammo. The only 124 grain +P ammo from them I see is always in 20 round boxes. Is the regular non +P ammo just as good? Or is it better to pay the extra for the 20 round boxes? Or if they make it in 50 round boxes I'd just wait for that.
 
Gold Dot makes +P in 9mm and other calibers. I have some and have shot a fair amount. It's my choice for carry in my XD9. The non +P is good. Going by memory for 124g Plus P will get you about 414 ft. lbs. and non plus P will get you about 370 ft. lbs.....again my best memory.

Yes, they make 50 round boxes of plus P.

Is it worth the difference in price? Just your personal choice. For 9mm I like the added energy in Plus P. For .45ACP I just use standard Gold Dot non-Plus P. Regular 9mm is still hotter than 38 spl. +p at about the same grains, so you are still OK for SD.

PS: I do like federal 135g hydra shock in non-plus P 9mm.

Yep I know they make +P gold dots as I've seen it quite often in 20 round boxes. However, I've never seen any of the LE 50 round boxes come in +P so I was wondering if they made them and I should keep looking or if you had to get the 20 round boxes if you wanted +P ammo.
 
Again, they do make 50 round boxes of +P, I have some. One place to look is at gun shows, or local gun shops.
 
Sold 9 50 round +P boxes this year, most through a guy that does all the shows in our area. Did about 30 boxes of regular LE gold dot. $30 regular and $42 on the plus P. Shipping kills it for one box at a time out of the area.
