50rds – 40 S&W Speer LE Gold Dot G2 180gr. JHP Ammo Details

When selecting a self-defense cartridge, you want its bullet to deliver exceptional accuracy, penetration, and expansion. This 40 S&W cartridge from Speer’s LE Gold Dot G2 label checks off every box in the list.

Can’t have exceptional accuracy without reliable performance, of course. This round’s brass case is plated with nickel for smooth feeding and corrosion resistance, and its sensitive primer and even propellant charge create a consistent muzzle velocity. The bullet itself is highly accurate, with an alloyed lead core and electrochemically bonded jacket for superior rotational stability in flight.

That electrochemically bonded jacket serves to keep the bullet intact whether it’s penetrating heavy clothing, plywood, drywall, or steel. Through any barrier the G2’s core and jacket remain unseparated, ensuring that a bullet weighing no less than 179 grains will penetrate deeply into your target.

The G2’s core possesses symmetrical, internal fissures, and its nose cavity is filled with pliant elastomer. During penetration the elastomer works its way deep down into the underlying fissures, spreading the bullet apart both quickly and uniformly. That kind of expansion creates a positively debilitating wound channel, precisely the kind that stops an attack nearly as quickly as it began.
