Description
Speer’s Gold Dot line of ammunition is designed to keep whomever would chamber it safe during whatever dangerous circumstances they might find themselves in. It is tested according to FBI protocol for service-class handgun cartridges which scrutinizes penetration, expansion, and weight retention through both bare and shielded targets.
rThis 40 S&W cartridge features a 165 grain projectile. The bullet’s alloyed lead core has been electrochemically bonded to its highly concentric jacket, and as the result the two are practically inseparable as they penetrate a target. The bullet’s hollow cavity has been formed in two stages: the first to control width of expansion, and the second to control rate of expansion. Its profile is further optimized to assure smooth feeding in a semi-automatic handgun.
rThis round offers additional value with its brass casing, which is plated in nickel. That plating not only protects the cartridge from corrosion, but further promotes reliable cycling and facilitates a chamber check when one must be performed in a darkened environment.
