Speer Gold Dot 380 ACP 90gr JHP Personal Protection Ammo 20rd

The Speer 23606GD Gold Dot delivers proven stopping power in 380 ACP with bonded hollow point technology engineered for personal protection. This 90-grain ammunition features Speer's signature Gold Dot construction that prevents core separation while ensuring consistent expansion across barrier materials.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard hollow points that can fragment or fail to expand, Gold Dot bullets use a proprietary electroplating process that bonds the jacket to the lead core at the molecular level. This construction maintains bullet integrity through clothing, wallboard, and auto glass while delivering controlled expansion. Independent ballistic testing shows 99% weight retention and expansion diameters averaging 1.5 times original caliber.

Key Features

• Bonded core construction prevents jacket separation on impact
• 90-grain hollow point optimized for 380 ACP velocity performance
• Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and aid extraction
• CCI primers ensure reliable ignition in all weather conditions
• Consistent 1.5x expansion diameter through FBI barrier protocols
• Low-flash powder reduces muzzle signature in low-light scenarios
• Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for reliable cycling

Field reports from law enforcement agencies document reliable feeding in compact 380 pistols including the Ruger LCP, Smith & Wesson Bodyguard, and Sig P238. The 90-grain weight provides optimal balance between penetration depth and expansion characteristics in short-barrel platforms. Muzzle velocity averages 1,000 fps from 3.7-inch barrels with consistent accuracy under 2.5 inches at 25 yards.
