The Speer 23602GD Gold Dot Personal Protection ammunition delivers reliable expansion and penetration specifically engineered for 25 ACP pocket pistols. This premium defensive load features Speer's proven Gold Dot hollow point bullet technology, bonding the jacket to the core for consistent performance when it matters most.
What Makes This Different
The Gold Dot hollow point design uses a proprietary electrochemical bonding process that prevents jacket separation during expansion. Unlike standard full metal jacket rounds that can over-penetrate, this 35-grain hollow point expands reliably at the lower velocities typical of 25 ACP cartridges. The nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and feed smoothly in compact pistols with tight tolerances.
Key Features
- 35-grain Gold Dot hollow point bullet with bonded core construction
- Nickel-plated brass cases for reliable feeding and extraction
- Optimized powder charge for consistent 25 ACP velocities
- Clean-burning propellant reduces fouling in small pistols
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for safety and reliability
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
- Compatible with all 25 ACP/.25 Auto chambered firearms
This ammunition performs consistently across various barrel lengths common in 25 ACP pistols, from 2-inch pocket guns to longer-barreled target models. The hollow point design expands reliably at velocities as low as 700 fps, making it effective for personal protection scenarios. Temperature stability ensures reliable ignition in both hot and cold conditions, while the clean-burning powder formulation minimizes maintenance requirements.
