When it comes to personal defense, peace of mind comes in the form of reliable ammunition. With so many ammunition choices available why not turn to the one law enforcement professionals nationwide have depended on for years? Speer Gold Dot offers dependable, consistent performance that is backed by one of the top names in law enforcement ammunition.

The first run nickel-plated brass case offers superior corrosion-resistance and smoother feeding (lower friction than regular brass). While it is good for reloading, it isn’t as malleable as regular non-plated brass, so your “mileage” may vary there (most folks don’t have an issue with reloading these cases, we just like to make sure you know everything we do!).
