The trusted choice of law enforcement worldwide. Speer's exclusive Uni-Cor bonding process fuses jacket to core at the molecular level, virtually eliminating separation on impact. Consistent expansion through barriers, sealed primers, and nickel-plated brass for reliable performance when it matters most.
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 for personal and home defense.
Speer's exclusive Uni-Cor bonding process sets Gold Dot apart from conventional ammunition. Rather than relying on mechanical retention, this method bonds the jacket to the lead core one molecule at a time during the initial stages of bullet construction. This virtually eliminates core-jacket separation, ensuring maximum retained weight and consistent penetration to critical depths.
Each Gold Dot hollow point cavity is meticulously engineered for its specific caliber and bullet weight. Speer employs a patented two-stage cavity formation process:
This precision engineering delivers optimum performance across a wide range of barriers and conditions.
Gold Dot ammunition exceeds the rigorous testing standards developed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for service-class handgun cartridges. These tests evaluate penetration, expansion, and retained weight in both bare gelatin and gelatin shielded by common barriers—ensuring real-world reliability.
When your safety depends on ammunition performing flawlessly, trust the choice of professionals.
