Speer
Bonded-core construction prevents jacket separation through barriers. A top law enforcement choice with proven street performance across thousands of documented shootings.
Speer Gold Dot 124-grain uses Speer's proprietary Uni-Cor electrochemical bonding process that molecularly bonds the jacket to the core, preventing the jacket separation that plagues conventional hollow points when hitting intermediate barriers like auto glass, drywall, or heavy clothing.
In Lucky Gunner's gel testing, the 124gr Gold Dot achieved 18.14 inches of penetration with 0.538 inches of expansion. The bonded construction means it retains virtually 100% of its weight through barriers, maintaining a straight wound channel. Gold Dot has been the #1 or #2 law enforcement ammunition choice in the United States for decades, with an extensive track record of documented real-world performance.
The Gold Dot is particularly valued for its barrier-blind performance. Where unbonded hollow points can shed their jacket and lose expansion capability after passing through auto glass or sheet metal, the Gold Dot maintains its integrity. This makes it an excellent choice for shooters who prioritize consistent terminal performance regardless of what the bullet encounters before reaching the target.
