Background
Speer has made ammunition and bullets in Lewiston, Idaho since the 1940s. Its Gold Dot line came out in the 1990s and quickly became one of the most widely issued duty loads in American law enforcement.
Gold Dot's bonded construction is what sets it apart. The copper jacket is applied to the lead core one atom at a time, so the two can't separate on impact. In the FBI test protocol, the 230 grain .45 load penetrated 13 inches in bare gelatin and expanded to just over 0.7 inches while keeping almost all of its weight. It also performed consistently through heavy clothing, wallboard, plywood, steel and auto glass.
The 230 grain .45 ACP has been an American duty and defensive standard for more than a century. Speer's Gold Dot version gives it modern bonded hollow point performance, and that's why so many agencies issued it.
