Speer's Gold Dot Hollow Point is one of the best self-defense rounds available today. It's a top choice of law enforcement agencies across the country and the Gold Dot uses a patented process that forms the hollow point cavity in two stages. Clean burning propellants deliver optimum velocity while ensuring consistent chamber pressures. Non-corrosive CCI primers are used for highly sensitive and reliable performance, as well as nickel plated brass cases for smooth feeding and durability.
