Description:

Speer®, complete with a fresh new look, continues to offer the best options for law enforcement, personal protection, handgun hunting and training ammunition. Based on the performance and track record of the legendary Speer Gold Dot® Ammunition, which continues its dominance of the law enforcement community, Speer has proven its reliability for tough jobs. This reputation has made it the #1 duty ammunition on the market today. To put it simply—it’s the best. Just last year we re-introduced this fine ammunition in three user-friendly categories: Speer Gold Dot Personal Protection, Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel Personal Protection and Speer Gold Dot Handgun Hunting. Speer also continues its line of training ammunition with Lawman® and Lawman Clean-Fire® ammunition. For Gold Dot-like ballistics and serious training, Lawman remains the best choice. Whatever category fits you, we’ve got the best choice for your needs.

    I have seen this ammo put through a demo when rounds were dropped into a tank of water and left for several hours. It was then taken out and loaded and shot without any feed jams or any problems.

    I too am a big fan of Speer Gold Dot ammunition. While I wouldn't feel underserved by any of the major ammunition companies personal defense ammo, when I'm spending my money I'm looking for Gold Dot's.

    I would have to agree. I have shot over 1000 rounds of this ammo from a Glock 22. I had no problems. The loads seem to be very consistent.

    The .40 does really well in my Glock, and i've never had a problem there, however, my Springfield 1911 does NOT like this ammo one bit. I checked the tolerances...all fine. Extractor...just fine. Magazines...all fine. I can't seem to find a problem with my weapon so i'm thinking it has to be the round. I'm wondering if there's an over-expansion issue with the casing. Anyway, overall, I like the ammo and i'm not going to knock it one bit. It just doesn't do all that great in my .45.

    We have been using this product in my department. We usually shoot 2000-3000 rounds a day. We haven't had really any problems. A few inverted bullets but no high primers or cracked cases. I don't have any knowledge of our ballistics testing. But, a hollow point is a hollow point. Penetration and expansion.

    I get this brand for two of the weapons our guys shoot. 45ACP 230gr and 40S&W 165gr
    We use regular velocity and have had good accuracy and no failures when the weapons are properly maintained. Since no malfunctions have occured it is unknown how dirty we could shoot it. Tested them with gelatin against windshield glass and various levels of clothing and since it's bonded together very little seperation if any. There was a little bit of cavity filling with clothing but was very hit or miss so unknown when it would come in.

Bullet expansion and stopping power worked and it got the job done. couple of incidents with car doors and bumpers but again theres no magic bullet. thank god! detroit is going back to it.
