1000rds - 45 ACP Speer LE Gold Dot 200gr. +P HP Ammo Details

Perfect for stocking up, this new production Speer Law Enforcement Gold Dot 45 ACP ammunition is packed 50 round boxes and sealed in 1000 round cases.

The number one choice for law enforcement professionals, Speer Gold Dot is designed to deliver the high level of performance today's law enforcement officers demand. With superior terminal performance, pinpoint accuracy, and incredible dependability, this American-made ammunition is perfect for personal protection as well as professional duty rounds.

Each round of this Speer Gold Dot ammo is loaded with a specially-designed 200 grain bonded jacketed hollow point projectile. These unique bullets are composed of an alloy lead core with a hollow point shaped along "memory lines." These notched memory lines help initiate expansion upon target impact.

The jacket is bonded to the core using Speer's patented Uni-Cor electrochemical process. This process bonds the jacket to the core one molecule at a time, virtually eliminating core/jacket separation. The result is uniform jacket thickness and nearly 100 percent weight retention.

Speer Gold Dot ammo excels on stringent FBI barrier tests evaluating penetration, expansion, and weight retention. These loads deliver excellent terminal performance and will not fragment or prematurely expand when encountering bone, heavy clothing or other real world barriers.

Each of these high-quality self-defense rounds features non-corrosive boxer primers and clean burning propellants. Loaded in nickel-plated brass casings, these cartridges deliver smooth feeding and function for all semi-automatic sidearms. The bright nickel coating also increases visibility making nighttime loading and chamber checks a breeze.



Leaving the muzzle at a velocity of 1080 feet per second with 518 foot pounds of energy, these +P overpressure loads are the perfect load for law enforcement, personal defense, or concealed carry.
