PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Gold Dot was the first handgun ammunition loaded with true, bonded-core bullets. Using an exclusive Uni-Cor method, Speer bonds the jacket to the core one molecule at a time at the very beginning of the bullet construction process. This virtually eliminates core-jacket separation. Speer’s Gold Dot series is a benchmark for self-defense and duty use, trusted by law enforcement worldwide. The pressure-formed lead core is bonded to a uniform jacket, virtually eliminating separation on impact for maximum weight retention and deep penetration. The Gold Dot hollow-point design expands consistently through barriers, ensuring reliable stopping power.
