Speer's legendary Gold Dot ammunition for 10mm features bonded-core hollow points designed for reliable expansion and deep penetration. Trusted by law enforcement worldwide for personal defense and duty use.
Gold Dot stands as the gold standard in handgun ammunition for law enforcement and serious shooters. This 10mm load delivers the same proven performance that has earned the trust of police agencies worldwide.
Speer's exclusive Uni-Cor bonding process fuses the jacket to the lead core one molecule at a time during initial bullet construction. This virtually eliminates core-jacket separation—a critical failure point in lesser ammunition. The result is a bullet that retains weight through barriers and delivers consistent, deep penetration where it counts.
Each Gold Dot hollow point cavity is engineered specifically for the 10mm cartridge and 200-grain bullet weight. Speer forms the cavity in two stages: the first establishes maximum expansion potential, while the second controls the rate of expansion. This patented two-step process gives engineers precise control over terminal performance.
Gold Dot ammunition meets the rigorous testing protocols established by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for service-class handgun cartridges. These tests evaluate penetration, expansion, and retained weight through bare gelatin and gelatin shielded by common barriers—real-world scenarios that matter.
The finished bullet profile ensures smooth, reliable feeding in semi-automatic handguns. Sealed primers and nickel-plated brass guarantee consistent ignition and reliable cycling.
