200rds – 45 ACP Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel 230gr. JHP Ammo

200rds – 45 ACP Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel 230gr. JHP Ammo Details

Speer’s Gold Dot Short Barrel line of ammunition would still make an effective choice for self-defense with a full-size 45 ACP handgun. But if you carry a smaller piece of hardware for personal protection, you will find this ammo’s lower felt recoil of especial value while you are trying to direct rapid yet accurate fire at an immediate threat to your physical safety.

This cartridge has a 230 grain projectile, and its 820 fps muzzle velocity was recorded in conjunction with a 4” test barrel. Naturally, its muzzle velocity will decelerate if the bullet passes through a shorter barrel – but even a 1.9” barrel is still long enough to give the jacketed hollow point the momentum it needs to undergo expansion while it penetrates a soft medium.

The Gold Dot JHP’s nose cavity is formed via two sequential die presses, which determine both the width it can expand to and the rate at which it can expand. Its bonded jacket fortifies the bullet, thus assuring it retains the momentum requisite for effectively deep penetration.

Nickel-plated brass cases are always a welcome finishing touch for self-defense ammunition. Their reflectivity makes them easier to see in a pistol’s chamber, and their lubricity promotes more reliable functionality in all semi-automatics.
