The Speer 23917GD Gold Dot Personal Protection ammunition delivers reliable expansion and penetration specifically engineered for short barrel revolvers. This 357 Magnum load features a 135-grain bonded hollow point bullet optimized for the reduced velocities typical of snub-nose revolvers and compact firearms.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 357 Magnum loads that may over-penetrate or fail to expand from short barrels, this specialized formula achieves consistent terminal performance at lower velocities. The bonded core construction prevents jacket separation even through heavy clothing and intermediate barriers. Speer's short barrel design maintains effective expansion down to 950 fps, where conventional hollow points often fail to open properly.Key Features
