The Speer Gold Dot Ammunition is loaded with bonded core bullets and designed for home defense and personal protection. The original Gold Dot line is a benchmark for both self-defense and duty use, trusted by law enforcement worldwide. It features a pressure-formed lead core bonded to an extremely uniform jacket at the atomic level. This virtually eliminates separation on impact, ensuring greater retained weight and penetration to crucial depths. Its Gold Dot hollow-point design expands consistently through various barriers.
