The Speer .40 S&W Gold Dot G2 180gr HP Ammo represents the next generation of self-defense ammunition. Previously only available to law enforcement, this round features an exclusive nose design with a shallow dish filled with a high-performance elastomer instead of a large hollow-point cavity. On impact, this material is forced into engineered internal fissures, initiating a controlled expansion process. The result is extremely uniform expansion, better separation of the petals, and more consistent penetration across various barrier types. With a muzzle velocity of 1015 fps, this 180-grain bullet delivers reliable stopping power for personal protection scenarios.
