1000rds - 45 ACP Speer LE Gold Dot 230gr. HP Ammo Details
Headquartered in Lewiston, Idaho, Speer has earned respect among law enforcement personnel for its consistent, high-quality ammunition. More law enforcement officers load their duty weapons with Speer Gold Dot than any other brand of ammunition. Also ideal for civilian personal protection, Speer Gold Dot delivers reliable accuracy and impressive terminal performance.
Gold Dot loads feature Speer’s patented high-performance jacketed hollow point projectiles. Weighing in at 230 grains, these Gold Dot bullets are engineered to provide shot-to-shot uniformity, massive terminal expansion, and hard-hitting weight retention. Speer’s proprietary Uni-Cor process bonds a copper jacket to a soft lead core one molecule at a time. This creates a secure bond that virtually eliminates core jacket separation. Gold Dot hollow points also deliver consistent penetration and expansion through most common barriers, making them perfect for use in EDC or concealed carry weapons.
This .45 ACP (Auto) ammunition is factory fresh, non-corrosive, and boxer primed. Featuring nickel-plated brass cases, these cartridges offer smooth feeding, function, and extraction in modern semi-autos. Additionally, nickel-plated brass is highly visibly, making loading and chamber checks easier in low light defensive situations.
Each round produces a consistent muzzle velocity of 890 feet per second with 404 foot pounds of threat-stopping muzzle energy. Perfect for the shooter who likes to stock up, this ammunition comes packed in 50-round boxes, with 20 boxes per case.

I am an eighth direct generation combat veteran, and had to medically retire from my combat injuries sustained in SWA 90-91'.
I have been shooting 1911's since I was a small child with my father. I carried a 1911 throughout my carrier, and have shot almost every ammo available, from military issue ball, to the most expensive hand loads.
I have personally carried Gold Dot since it's inception, and trust not only my life to it, but the lives of my family. I have unfortunately had to use and see the effects of the round, I still carry it today. I believe that is testimony enough.
It is absolutely the best. 45 ACP round in the world.
