The trusted choice of law enforcement worldwide. Speer's Gold Dot features bonded-core construction for reliable expansion, consistent penetration, and weight retention across all barriers. 20 rounds per box.
Speer Gold Dot ammunition has set the benchmark for defensive handgun loads for decades. Originally developed for law enforcement, these cartridges deliver the same proven performance to civilian shooters who demand reliability when it matters most.
Each Gold Dot round features Speer's proprietary Uni-Cor bonding process, which fuses the bullet jacket to the core one molecule at a time during the initial stages of bullet construction. This virtually eliminates core-jacket separation—a critical factor in consistent performance.
The hollow point cavity is engineered through a patented two-stage formation process:
This precision engineering ensures that each .380 ACP load performs identically, shot after shot.
Gold Dot ammunition meets and exceeds the FBI's rigorous testing protocols for service-class handgun cartridges. These tests evaluate penetration depth, expansion consistency, and weight retention through bare gelatin and gelatin protected by common barriers—the real-world conditions you may face.
The smooth bullet profile ensures reliable feeding in semi-automatic handguns, while the bonded construction guarantees consistent expansion across a wide velocity range and through various barriers.
Trust Gold Dot for home defense, personal protection, and the peace of mind that comes from ammunition engineered by professionals for professionals.
