Speer's premium 40 S&W Gold Dot line of JHP defense ammunition is a great choice for personal protection.

Speer Gold Dot Ammunition is loaded with bonded core bullets and designed for critical defense needs.

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.

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

Ballistic Gel Test

Speer 155 gr Gold Dot

Image showing Speer .40 S&W (Smith & Wesson) 155 Grain rounds fired into ballistic gel

Ballistics Test Summary

We test-fired five rounds of .40 S&W Speer 155 gr Gold Dot into synthetic ballistic gelatin to observe its expansion and penetration characteristics. The ammo was fired from a Glock 27 pistol at a distance of 10 feet. A four-layer barrier of heavy fabric was placed in front of the gelatin to simulate clothing.

The complete data for this load from our test can be found on the chart below. The photo slider displays the expanded bullets that were retrieved from the gel. Pictured below is a high speed video that shows the bullet entering the gel at approximately 10,000 frames per second. The diagrams at the bottom of the page should give you an idea of how this load compares to other .40 S&W loads.
