Speer Gold Dot 357 Magnum 158gr Hollow Point

Speer Gold Dot: The Standard for Personal Defense

Gold Dot ammunition represents the gold standard in personal defense ammunition—literally and figuratively. Trusted by law enforcement agencies worldwide, these rounds deliver the performance you need when it matters most.

Engineering Excellence

Speer's exclusive Uni-Cor bonding process sets Gold Dot apart. The jacket bonds 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 performance through all barriers.

Precision Hollow Point Design

Each Gold Dot hollow point cavity is carefully tuned for its specific caliber and bullet weight. Speer uses a patented two-stage cavity formation process:

• First stage establishes maximum expansion potential
• Second stage controls the rate of expansion

This meticulous engineering gives Speer complete control over bullet performance, ensuring optimum expansion and penetration in real-world conditions.

Proven Performance

Every Gold Dot load 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 in both bare gelatin and gelatin shielded by common barriers.
