The Speer Gold Dot .38 Special 135-Grain Hollow Point ammunition is engineered for dependable performance in personal defense and law enforcement applications. Featuring true bonded-core bullets, this ammo ensures that the jacket remains securely attached to the core throughout penetration, thanks to Speer’s exclusive Uni-Cor bonding process that fuses the jacket and core molecule by molecule during manufacturing. This innovative process virtually eliminates core-jacket separation, providing consistent expansion and penetration vital for effective stopping power.
Each cartridge is meticulously designed with a two-stage hollow point cavity formation; the first stage determines the maximum expansion potential, while the second controls the rate of expansion to optimize terminal ballistics. This patented cavity construction allows for precise tuning to achieve ideal expansion and penetration for each caliber and bullet weight, ensuring reliable performance in critical situations. The bullets are finished with a smooth profile to promote reliable feeding in semi-automatic handguns, making them suitable for a variety of firearm types, including those with shorter barrels.
Speer Gold Dot ammunition undergoes rigorous testing aligned with Federal Bureau of Investigation standards for service-class cartridges. These tests evaluate key performance metrics such as penetration depth, expansion consistency, and weight retention in both bare gelatin and barrier conditions, confirming its reliability and effectiveness when it matters most. With a 20-round box and 200 rounds per case, this ammunition offers a cost-effective solution for both professional and personal use, combining proven technology with consistent quality. Whether for everyday carry or duty use, Speer Gold Dot ensures you have dependable ammunition backed by extensive testing and innovative design.
