The Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel 22 WMR 40 gr. HP brings the trusted Gold Dot series into the rimfire world for shooters who carry or defend with compact handguns, delivering reliable expansion and penetration from barrels as short as 2 inches and providing a legitimate self-defense option for sub-compact revolvers and semi-autos. With a 40-grain hollow point Gold Dot bullet, a muzzle velocity around 1050 fps and muzzle energy near 98 ft-lbs, this short-barrel ammo is engineered to feed dependably in tight magazines and short chambers while achieving consistent terminal performance that stops threats without over-penetration. Shooters will appreciate the nickel-plated brass casing for corrosion resistance and smooth extraction, the design work for compact-platform reliability, and the ammos compatibility with common defensive carry firearms chambered in 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire. Whether youre selecting defensive loads for concealed carry, choosing training rounds that mirror carry ballistics, or stocking a compact hunting or survival setup, Speers Gold Dot Short Barrel 22 WMR offers focused stopping power from small handguns with the reputation and ballistic profile handgunners seek.
