Speer Gold Dot Carry Gun .40 S&W 165gr Hollow Point

The Gold Dot line represents the gold standard in self-defense ammunition, trusted by law enforcement agencies worldwide. Speer's Carry Gun load builds upon the proven Gold Dot G2 bullet platform, engineered specifically for personal protection.

Bullet Design & Construction

Each round features Speer's exclusive Uni-Cor bonding process, which fuses the jacket to the lead core one molecule at a time during initial bullet construction. This virtually eliminates core-jacket separation and ensures maximum retained weight and penetration.

The G2 bullet employs a distinctive shallow dish cavity filled with high-performance elastomer instead of a traditional large hollow point. On impact, this material is forced into engineered internal fissures, initiating a controlled expansion process that delivers:

• Extremely uniform expansion across varying conditions
• Better separation of expansion petals
• More consistent penetration through common barriers

Performance & Reliability

• Velocity: 1150 fps
• Bullet Weight: 165 grains
• Primer: Sealed for reliable ignition
• Brass: Nickel-plated for smooth cycling and corrosion resistance
• Packaging: 20 rounds per box

Whether you're choosing ammunition for home defense or everyday carry, Gold Dot Carry Gun delivers the barrier-blind performance and consistency that has made it the choice of professionals.
