The Speer Gold Dot Personal Protection 45 ACP ammunition delivers proven stopping power with consistent expansion through the patented Uni-Cor bonding process. This 230-grain jacketed hollow point design maximizes terminal performance while maintaining the accuracy demanded by law enforcement and civilian defenders.
What Makes This Different
Speer's exclusive Uni-Cor electrochemical bonding process permanently fuses the jacket to the lead core, preventing separation during expansion. Unlike conventional hollow points that can fragment or fail to expand consistently, Gold Dot bullets maintain their weight and expand to nearly twice their original diameter. This technology has been proven in real-world encounters by law enforcement agencies nationwide for over two decades.
