If it's cheap enough you can buy it, use it for shooting, proof your gun for that as a carry load.
Oldtex, thanks for the info.

On Chuck's recommendation, I standardized on the Gold Dot 124+P load 2-3 years ago. I have run it through more platforms than I can remember, and a boat load of Glock pistols my wife and I use. Never a single problem with that load, and it seems quite accurate in a wide variety of pistols. I also bought in to the idea that +P might be more reliable in a dirty gun, or a compromised shooting position.
Interestingly, I shot my carry 19 this afternoon (G4, Apex extractor, yet to have a stoppage in well over 1,000 rounds), one hand, because that is what I am doing for a few weeks to try to fix my left elbow. Shooting AE 124 ball, it ran, but was sprinkling brass every where. In contrast, the 320 shucked the brass out like it meant it.

Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
One of my Gen 4 G19s with the APEX and appropriate SLB gives me lawn-sprinkler ejection with Blazer Aluminum 124gr, and only that load (so far). I got nailed pretty hard in the face a couple of times the other weekend at class, and once on the range earlier this week. Same gun spits out everything from cheap Wal Mart 115gr (Perfecta, WWB, Federal Champion) to Speer Lawman 124gr to 124gr+P and 147gr HST with consistency, though.
There was a recall in 2001-2002 due to primer reliability issues: http://greent.com/40Page/general/speer-recall.htm
