Speer Gold Dot Ammo Recall

There were some problems with primers dating to last summer. We are
recalling all Gold Dot sold to law enforcement as a general safeguard.
Overall it is not a large problem, but we felt, due to the nature of law
enforcement, that the recall was the correct course of action. Most will
never experience a problem.

The problems have been corrected. There have been very few actual
occurrences of problems, but the law enforcement recall is a precautionary
procedure.

Hey Bill!

I have some of the 124gr. +p stuff. What exactly is wrong (i.e. blows up...doesn't go bang etc.) with the ammo?

What do I do with it?

The stuff I got isn't normally available at a dealer (non law enforcement).
 
The primers may not ignite. If you have any ammo that falls under this Law Enforcement Recall, just take it to the range and fire it up.
 
I bought a case of the .40, the 43962. Shot up about half of it in my BHP. Absolutly no problems. I am hanging on to the rest of it.

I have 8 or 10 boxes of the 124g 9mm +P listed here. Will Speer exchange it for non-recalled ammo? I'm not in law enforcement. I got a good deal on it ($8-$10 per box of 50) and it has worked fine so far, but I planned to keep it as my self-defense ammo. It is frustrating to have stocked up on this, then seen that some of this same ammo is marked "Not for Law Enforcement" or something like that (with no explanation), and now to see that it is recalled. When I bought it (at gun shows) none of the boxes were marked in any way to indicate that there was a problem with it. I knew the price was excellent, but it is still about double what I pay for practice ammo, so I hate to just shoot it up for practice. It seems like Speer should replace it if some is defective - law enforcement or not.
