The Speer 23604GD Gold Dot Personal Protection ammunition delivers reliable expansion and penetration in 32 ACP chamberings. This premium hollow point ammunition features Speer's proven Gold Dot technology, bonding the jacket to the core for consistent performance in defensive situations.
What Makes This Different
Speer Gold Dot ammunition stands apart from standard ball ammunition through its electrochemically bonded jacket and core construction. The 60-grain hollow point projectile maintains structural integrity during expansion, preventing jacket separation that commonly occurs with conventional hollow points. This bonding process creates uniform expansion characteristics across varying barrier materials and impact velocities.
Key Features
- 60-grain jacketed hollow point with bonded core construction
- Nickel-plated brass cases for reliable feeding and extraction
- CCI primers for consistent ignition in all weather conditions
- Optimized powder charge for 32 ACP barrel lengths
- Controlled expansion design minimizes over-penetration
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
This ammunition performs consistently in compact pistols commonly chambered in 32 ACP, including Beretta Tomcat, Kel-Tec P-32, and similar pocket pistols. The nickel-plated cases resist corrosion during extended carry periods and provide smooth chambering in tight pistol actions. Independent ballistic testing shows reliable expansion at velocities typical of 32 ACP loadings, making this suitable for personal protection applications where shot placement and controlled expansion are priorities.
