Speer Gold Dot 380 ACP 90 Gr Hollow Point Ammo - 1040 FPS, 20 Rounds

Speer Gold Dot 380 ACP ammunition delivers reliable personal protection in a compact caliber. This 90-grain hollow point load moves at 1040 FPS and is engineered for consistent expansion and penetration in the scenarios that matter most. Whether you carry a full-size or compact .380 pistol, Gold Dot provides the performance backbone that law enforcement and armed citizens have trusted for decades.

The Gold Dot's reputation rests on Speer's proprietary Uni-Cor bonding process, which fuses the jacket to the lead core molecule-by-molecule from the start of bullet construction. This approach virtually eliminates the core-jacket separation that can compromise performance when you need it most. The result is a bullet that expands predictably and retains weight through barriers—exactly what the FBI's rigorous service-ammunition protocols demand.

Every Gold Dot hollow point cavity is individually tuned by caliber and weight. Speer forms each cavity in two stages: the first sets maximum expansion potential, the second controls the rate at which it happens. This two-step engineering gives you a bullet optimized for both expansion and penetration rather than a compromise between them. The finished bullet is smooth-profiled to feed reliably through semi-automatic pistols without hiccups when speed counts.

Each box contains 20 rounds, making this a practical choice for practice drills, qualification, and carry rotation. If you're serious about .380 personal protection, Gold Dot sets the standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Gold Dot .380 feed reliably in my carry gun?

Yes. Speer finishes every Gold Dot bullet with a smooth profile specifically designed for reliable feeding in semi-automatic handguns. This ammunition is engineered for the pistols that fire it.

How does Gold Dot perform against barriers like clothing or glass?

Speer tests Gold Dot to FBI service-ammunition protocols, which include evaluation of penetration, expansion, and retained weight through bare gelatin and gelatin shielded by common barriers. Every caliber and weight is tuned for predictable performance in real-world scenarios.

Is Gold Dot suitable for both full-size and compact .380 pistols?

Yes. Speer offers Gold Dot loads optimized for both standard handguns and short-barrel platforms, so there's a load designed to work in your specific .380.

What makes the Uni-Cor bonding process different?

Speer bonds the jacket to the lead core one molecule at a time at the very beginning of bullet construction. This virtually eliminates core-jacket separation, ensuring the bullet performs consistently from first round to last.
