The trusted choice of law enforcement worldwide. Speer's Gold Dot features a pressure-formed, bonded core that virtually eliminates jacket separation for consistent expansion and reliable penetration through barriers.
Speer Gold Dot ammunition has earned its reputation as the preferred load for law enforcement agencies worldwide—and that same proven performance is available to you.
What sets Gold Dot apart is Speer's exclusive Uni-Cor bonding method. The jacket is bonded to the lead core one molecule at a time during the initial stages of bullet construction. This virtually eliminates core-jacket separation, ensuring the bullet maintains its weight and structural integrity even after impact.
Each Gold Dot hollow point cavity is carefully tuned for its specific caliber and bullet weight. Speer forms the cavity in two stages:
This patented two-step process gives engineers precise control over how the bullet performs in real-world conditions.
Gold Dot ammunition meets the stringent testing protocols developed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for service-class handgun cartridges. These tests evaluate penetration, expansion, and retained weight through both bare gelatin and gelatin shielded by common barriers—ensuring reliable performance in any defensive situation.
Sealed primers and nickel-plated brass ensure consistent ignition and reliable cycling in semi-automatic handguns. The finished bullet profile feeds smoothly and reliably.
