SPEER - Catalogue 2021

4 Previously only offered to law enforcement, Speer ® Gold Dot ® G2 ® offers the ultimate performance for self-defense thanks to an exclusive nose design. Instead of a large hollow-point cavity, Gold Dot G2 has a shallow dish filled with a high- performance elastomer. On impact, the material is forced into engineered internal fissures to start the expansion process. The result is extremely uniform expansion, better separation of the petals, and more consistent penetration across barrier types through full-size handguns.

On impact, this material forces the bullet open, providing consistent expansion through any barrier.
