Product Description
Speer Gold Dot is one of the most battle-tested defensive handgun loads in history — the preferred duty load of federal marshals, the DEA, the FBI, and dozens of state police agencies — and the 9mm 115-grain loading delivers exactly the performance profile that LE agencies have trained and qualified with for decades. The Uni-Cor construction process electrochemically bonds the lead core to the jacket, eliminating any possibility of jacket-core separation during penetration: through clothing, glass, steel, and all other FBI protocol barriers the Gold Dot holds together and expands reliably. At 1,210 fps the 115-grain GDHP generates 374 ft-lbs and expands to approximately .55" diameter in standard gelatin — controlled, predictable terminal geometry that defensive instructors point to as the benchmark. Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion in carry guns that go unclean for extended periods, and Speer's clean-burning powder keeps action fouling to a minimum. This is not a new load trying to prove itself — it is the proven standard.
