See More Information

This ammo is loaded with Gold Dot's Bonded Core line of bullets perfect for a backup gun for law enforcement personnel or a concealed weapon for a licensed citizen.

Bonding the jacket to the core means the elimination of core-jacket separation and superior weight retention making it more effective than traditional hollow-point bullets in the event that the bullet encounters bone or heavy clothing upon entry. Speer's Gold Dot ammunition is a leader in the law enforcement community for its great performance in the FBI test protocols. It performs especially well in the compound glass angle test that bullets must undergo to pass the FBI's rigid screening requirements.

This premium Speer Gold Dot 357 Mag ammo represents a great option for self-defense.

This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable nickel-plated brass cases.

Q: What is best desgin bullet for my 3 inch barrel sig 365 and walther 4.5 barrel for 124 bullet weghit

Posted On: 7/24/2021 By: Edward Herald

A: Thanks for reaching out Edward! Assuming the Walther is also chambered for 9mm, then both of your handguns should function correctly with any of the 9mm ammo we currently have in stock: luckygunner.com/handgun/9mm-ammo

Q: Will Gold Dot 158g jhp be a good round for home defense? Smith and Wesson 686 357 magnum 4in

Posted On: 8/6/2020 By: Christian

A: The only person who wouldn't recommend this ammo to you for home defense would be a home intruder. This round ought to function seamlessly in your revolver. Its bullet has a bonded jacket for deep penetration, precision formed nose cavity for reliable terminal expansion, and nickel-plated brass case for smooth extraction. It's one of the finest cartridges for home defense we offer. Just take note that this round will penetrate several walls. Also, I'd recommend you pick up a speedloader to facilitate fast reloads (which we don't sell). Not that I recommend this particular product, but something like this would serve might serve you well one day: amazon.com/Star-Firearms-L6-357-Revolver-Speedloader/dp/B00MR9108I
