Why Choose Speer Gold Dot .380 ACP 90 gr JHP?
The Speer Gold Dot .380 ACP 90 gr JHP is the gold standard in defensive ammunition. Its bonded-core hollow point design ensures the bullet remains intact, even after passing through thick barriers like denim or auto glass. The controlled expansion of the bullet creates a large wound cavity, providing the stopping power needed to neutralize threats effectively.

This ensures consistent penetration, maximum weight retention, and dependable performance in real-world self-defense encounters. Its nickel-plated brass casing enhances reliability, especially in concealed carry pistols that may be exposed to sweat, humidity, and moisture.
