Speer Secures Extended Nordic Law Enforcement Contract

Seven-Year Renewal Strengthens International Partnership

Speer Ammunition has successfully secured a contract extension with law enforcement agencies across five Nordic nations, reinforcing its position as a trusted supplier in the international market. The renewed agreement will supply agencies in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, and Finland with ammunition for the next seven years.

Gold Dot 9mm Selected as Standard Issue

Proven Performance Drives Selection

The contract centers around Speer's 124-grain Gold Dot 9mm Luger ammunition, which has established itself as the preferred duty round for these Nordic law enforcement organizations. This selection reflects the ammunition's consistent performance record in demanding operational environments.

Advanced Projectile Technology

The Gold Dot projectile incorporates sophisticated engineering features designed for law enforcement applications:

• Bonded Construction: The lead core is chemically bonded to the copper jacket, preventing component separation during impact
• Weight Retention: The bonded design maintains projectile integrity for reliable performance
• Consistent Expansion: Engineered to deliver predictable expansion characteristics
• Barrier Penetration: Designed to maintain effectiveness when encountering various obstacles

Industry Leadership Recognition

"We have a long history with these customers, and we are extremely pleased with the renewal of this prestigious contract," stated David Leis, vice president of law enforcement, government and international sales. "This contract validates the high trust that international law-enforcement agencies have with our extremely reliable and innovative product."
