Details
Speer's 380 Auto LE Gold Dot line of JHP defense ammunition is a great personal defense load with its reputation for barrier penetration.
Speer Gold Dot Ammunition is loaded with bonded core bullets and is designed for critical defense needs.
Bonding the jacket to the core means the elimination of core-jacket separation and superior weight retention making it more effective than traditional hollow-point bullets in the event that the bullet encounters bone or heavy clothing upon entry. Speer's Gold Dot ammunition is a market share leader in the law enforcement community because of its great performance in the FBI test protocols. It performs especially well in being able to retain its mass when penetrating through auto-glass which is one of the most difficult portions of the FBI test.
Designed for Law Enforcement and occasionally made available to the general public through police trade-ins; this ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable nickel-plated brass cases.

Ballistic gel test for 380 Auto - 90 Grain JHP - Speer Gold Dot - 50 Rounds
Ballistics Test Summary
Ballistic gelatin testing is one way to get an idea of how a self-defense load might perform in a real world self-defense situation. So we fired five rounds of Speer 90 gr Gold Dot from a Glock 42 from a distance of 10 feet into a block of synthetic ballistic gel with a barrier of four layers of fabric simulating heavy clothing. We then gathered information on the expansion and penetration characteristics of this load. That data is represented in the chart below.
How this load compares to other .380 Auto (ACP) loads from our tests in regards to bullet expansion and penetration can be found in the diagrams at the bottom of the page.
We also took photos of each bullet that was recovered from the gelatin, seen in the photo slider below. The high speed video shows this round impacting the ballistic gelatin at 10,000 frames per second.

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.

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.
