Speer Gold Dot Personal Protection .45 Acp Hollow Point 230 Grain 20 Rounds

The Speer Gold Dot Personal Protection Pistol Ammo .45 ACP 230 gr HP Short Barrel delivers trusted Gold Dot performance in compact and sub-compact pistols with a design tuned to cycle and expand reliably in barrels as short as 1.9 inches, making it ideal for concealed carry and home defense applications where space is limited and terminal performance matters. This Short Barrel series loads a 230 grain hollow point to a muzzle velocity around 820 fps and about 343 ft-lbs of energy, providing the penetration and controlled expansion needed for stopping threats while producing noticeably less felt recoil for faster follow-up shots from small frames. Shooters who carry compact .45 ACPs will appreciate the consistent feeding in tight magazines and the corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass casing that aids extraction and reliability in daily carry or duty use. As part of Speer's Gold Dot lineup, this pistol ammo is built to deliver dependable hollow point expansion and penetration at a range of practical distances, making it a solid choice for self-defense, off-duty carry, and close-quarters defensive training.
