Speer Gold Dot was the first handgun ammunition to feature true, bonded-core bullets. The exclusive Uni-Cor method bonds the jacket to the core one molecule at a time during the initial bullet construction stage, virtually eliminating core-jacket separation. Available in loads for both standard handguns and short barrels, Gold Dot offers a solution for various shooting platforms.
Each Gold Dot hollow point cavity is caliber- and weight-specific to deliver optimum performance. Speer forms the hollow point cavity in two stages: the first establishes maximum expansion potential, while the second controls the rate of expansion. This patented two-step cavity formation gives engineers precise control over the design, with each bullet caliber and weight tuned for optimum expansion and penetration. The finished bullet profile ensures reliable feeding in semi-automatic handguns.
Gold Dot ammunition is validated against the stringent Federal Bureau of Investigation protocol tests for service-class handgun cartridges. These tests evaluate penetration, expansion, and retained weight in both bare gelatin and gelatin shielded by common barriers to ensure Gold Dot performs when you need it most.
