Speer Ammunition's Gold Dot line sets a standard for reliable handgun performance with its innovative bonded-core technology. The Gold Dot 45 ACP 185 Grain Hollow Point rounds are engineered to deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration, making them a preferred choice for self-defense and law enforcement applications. Using an exclusive Uni-Cor bonding process, Speer bonds the jacket to the core one molecule at a time, significantly reducing the risk of core-jacket separation even under extreme conditions. This process ensures that the bullet maintains integrity during impact, providing dependable terminal performance. The hollow point cavity is precisely formed through a two-stage process that controls both the expansion distance and rate, allowing for optimal performance across different shooting scenarios. Each bullet is carefully designed to feed smoothly in semi-automatic handguns, thanks to its streamlined profile, and is thoroughly tested to meet or exceed FBI protocol standards for penetration, expansion, and weight retention. The 20-round box offers a versatile load suitable for personal defense or duty use, with the option to purchase in cases of 200 rounds for tactical applications. Speer’s Gold Dot ammunition is trusted by professionals for its consistency, reliability, and proven performance in critical situations. Whether used in standard or short-barrel handguns, this 185-grain hollow point provides the stopping power and expansion necessary for effective personal protection and law enforcement duties.
