Feeding issues

Liked the ballistic reviews of this round. Carry it in my Sig 9mms. However, it is alittle unpredictable in feeding in my LCP II, so I have switched to Hornady XTP. The JHP cavity is so large on the Gold Dot that I think it does not feed as well as the Hornady, with a smaller JHP cavity, in an LCP II. A great expanding bullet with good penetration does no good if it jams in feeding in your gun!

There were some problems with my wife's favorite Inceptor loads in the Smith, but these Speers worked flawlessly. No report on terminal performance (which I hope continues), but Speer GDs are among the best in that respect, and I can only assume tha also applies to the .380.

loaded perfectly, consistent fire, no FTF, or FTE, I ran through a box with no issues. I have made it my official ammo in my pocket guns, and my wifes 2 guns. She had no issue in her Glock 42 or Kimber Micro-carry

Personally Cannot Recommend for Glock 42

I want to love this round, I really do. Per the Lucky Gunner Labs, this round provides excellent expansion with middling penetration for the caliber, which would be just fine for me. However, I experienced four FTFs in 50 rounds out of a broken-in Glock 42 with this cartridge. I believe it's the big, soft, ashtray-shaped hollowpoint that causes the trouble. Have now switched to Hornady Critical Defense for carry, with zero failures in 50 rounds one-handed/weak-handed (75 rounds total) so far. Otherwise, flawless Speer quality, and Lucky Gunner is fabs and marvy as always!

All the ballistic gel testing I found on this ammo through 4 layets of fabric show reliable, consistent expansion and penetration of > 10". When "bounce back" in the gel is taken into account, penetration is closer to 12". Great value in the Law Enforcement packaging 50 round boxes.

I got a mean 5 shot average of 915 FPS in my LCP, it expanded well through layers of fabric into water jugs and fed pretty smoothly.

One of the best .380 rounds for defense

I have a few backup .380s
(Kahr p380, Lcp, tcp, g42, m&p bodyguard, colt pocketlite) etc.. and aside from the critical defense round from Hornady, Speer Gold Dot is my ccw ammo choice when it comes to the two rounds I’ve found in any gun if they won’t feed one they will the other, and from a barrel length ranging of
2.5” - 3.25”/3.5” you get consistent expansion and at least 10” + penetration and REALISTICALLY that’s enough.

The Speer Gold Dot is currently my load of choice for my G42s. It runs flawless in both of them and most all the gel tests that I have seen show reliable expansion through clothing barriers. I'd like to see a 12 inch minimum but I feel this is a good round for duty back up gun use.

My range time with this ammo in a Glock 42: 3 Failure to Eject; 2 Failure to Feed. (These failures happened during the first 18 rounds fired).
However, there could have been issues with the pistol itself, so be cautious when considering this ammo.

Waited on backorder since Feb. at another dealer. Found your site by accident, lucky I did. You had the product in stock and at a better price.
Ammo performs better than expected in a Colt 380 Gov't model.
Thanks.

Appears to be the usual good stuff from Speer. No malfunctions and accuracy was excellent. Ran the Gold Dot to be certain it cycled and the P238 "liked it." This stuff is somewhat hard to find, so my hat is off to LG for recognizing its place in the 380 market.
Now, let's find some 9mm standard pressure HST in 124 and 147.
