Proven Gold Dot Performance for Compact Carry
The Speer Gold Dot .380 ACP 90 grain brings law enforcement-grade technology to America's most popular pocket pistol caliber. Designed specifically for compact defensive handguns, this load delivers reliable expansion and penetration optimized for the .380 ACP platform.
Engineered for .380 ACP Success
Achieving consistent expansion in a compact caliber requires precision engineering. Speer's Gold Dot .380 ACP features a carefully designed hollow point cavity and 90 grain bullet weight that work together to ensure:
- Reliable expansion at .380 ACP velocities
- Optimal penetration depth meeting FBI defensive standards
- Reduced over-penetration risk compared to FMJ loads
- Maximum effectiveness from short barrel lengths
Uni-Cor Bonding: No Compromises on Quality
Every Gold Dot bullet—from .32 ACP to .45 ACP—is built using Speer's exclusive Uni-Cor bonding process. The jacket is molecularly bonded to the core from the very beginning of construction, not applied afterward. This creates an inseparable bond that ensures:
- Virtually no core-jacket separation on impact
- Maximum weight retention for consistent performance
- Uniform expansion across all defensive scenarios
- Predictable terminal ballistics you can trust
