The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE), recently awarded Speer, a brand of Vista Outdoor Inc., a contract providing up to 120 million rounds of 124-grain, 9mm Luger Gold Dot Duty ammunition. Starting delivery in 2018, the contract will provide to multiple DHS law enforcement components and other federal agencies for up to five years.
