Gold Dot Ammunition: Available To Both Civilians And Law Enforcement

Speer Gold Dot ammunition is used by more than 3,000 law enforcement agencies across the United States, including the New York Police Department, the California Highway Patrol, and the Pennsylvania State Police. The bullets are designed to excel at the FBI test protocol for ammunition, which involves a series of tests that determine how effectively a bullet can penetrate and expand within ballistic gelatin. Speer Gold Dot ammunition is also available to the general public, and is marketed as a self-defence product.

The Gold Dot bullet was designed to excel at the FBI test protocol for ammunition. The protocol involves a series of tests which determine how effectively a bullet can penetrate and expand within ballistic gelatin (which simulates the density of swine flesh) after having passed through a number of barriers. The Gold Dot bullet delivers extremely reliable barrier penetration followed by subsequent terminal expansion. This makes it a great option for self-defence.

The Gold Dot bullet is loaded with bonded core bullets, which eliminate core-jacket separation and offer superior weight retention. This makes it more effective than traditional hollow-point bullets in the event that the bullet encounters bone or heavy clothing upon entry.

Gold Dot Personal Protection and Gold Dot LE are identical, except for their packaging. Personal Protection cartridges commonly come in boxes of 20, while LE cartridges usually come in boxes of 50.

The Gold Dot bullet is designed to excel at the FBI test protocol for ammunition. The protocol involves a series of tests that determine how effectively a bullet can penetrate and expand within ballistic gelatin (which simulates the density of swine flesh) after having passed through a number of barriers. All shots are fired at a distance of 10 feet. A bullet that always penetrates to the same depth between 14 and 16 inches, retains 100% of its weight, and expands to a certain diameter will receive a perfect score on the FBI test protocol and be deemed most suitable for self-defence by law enforcement professionals.

Speer Gold Dot ammunition is loaded with bonded core bullets, which eliminate core-jacket separation and improve weight retention. This makes it more effective than traditional hollow-point bullets when encountering bone or heavy clothing upon entry. The Gold Dot bullet delivers extremely reliable barrier penetration followed by subsequent terminal expansion. Speer also designed the Gold Dot Short Barrel ammunition to optimise ballistic and terminal performance out of short-barrelled weapons, such as sub-compact semi-automatic handguns and snub-nosed revolvers.

Speer Gold Dot ammunition is designed for law enforcement officers and is used by more than 3,000 agencies across the United States, including the New York Police Department, the California Highway Patrol, and the Pennsylvania State Police. However, it is also available to private citizens for self-defence.

The Gold Dot bullet delivers extremely reliable barrier penetration followed by subsequent terminal expansion. This is achieved through bonding the jacket to the core, which eliminates core-jacket separation and results in superior weight retention. As a result, Gold Dot ammunition is more effective than traditional hollow-point bullets, even when encountering bone or heavy clothing upon entry.

Gold Dot ammunition is also optimised for use in short-barrelled weapons, including sub-compact semi-automatic handguns and snub-nosed revolvers, which have become the typical American civilian firearm.

Gold Dot Personal Protection and Gold Dot LE are identical, with the only difference being the packaging. Personal Protection cartridges commonly come in boxes of 20, while LE cartridges usually come in boxes of 50, as police often train with the same ammo they carry on duty and therefore require bulk quantities. Speer also offers Gold Dot Short Barrel ammunition, which optimises ballistic and terminal performance out of short-barrelled weapons, including sub-compact semi-automatic handguns and snub-nosed revolvers.
