Overview
Speer Gold Dot 23975GD is the dedicated Short Barrel 45 Auto load. Speer's 2025 catalog lists a 230-grain GDHP-SB bullet at 820 fps and 343 ft-lbs from a 4-inch test barrel.
That barrel-specific rating makes it the cleanest catalog match for Commander-size 1911s and other compact 45s. A catalog label still does not replace a reliability test in the exact pistol.
