Speer Gold Dot .380 ACP 90gr HP Bonded Core Ammunition

Speer Gold Dot .380 ACP 90gr HP ammunition is engineered for consistent terminal performance in personal defense scenarios. This cartridge delivers predictable results from compact concealed carry pistol platforms.

Engineered Performance & Reliability

• Bonded Core Technology: The Gold Dot series utilizes an exclusive Uni-Cor bonding process, molecularly bonding the jacket to the lead core during manufacturing. This construction largely prevents core-jacket separation upon impact, ensuring high retained weight and effective energy transfer.
• Optimized Hollow Point Design: Each hollow point cavity is precisely formed using a two-stage process. The initial stage defines the maximum expansion diameter, while the second controls the rate of expansion. This specific tuning for the .380 ACP 90 grain projectile optimizes both expansion and penetration characteristics for its intended application.
• Reliable Function: The bullet features a smooth profile to facilitate reliable feeding in various semi-automatic personal defense firearms. Speer subjects Gold Dot ammunition to stringent testing protocols, mirroring those established by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which assess performance in bare gelatin and through common barriers. This rigorous evaluation ensures the ammunition meets high standards for penetration, expansion, and weight retention.

For those seeking dependable handgun ammunition for defensive use, or for verifying reliability at the shooting range equipment prior to carry, this ammunition stands as a critical component among essential firearm accessories. Speer Gold Dot provides a proven solution.
