Speer Gold Dot Personal Protection ammunition in .357 Magnum (brand part no. 23920GD) is built for shooters who carry this round for personal or home defense. Speer backs this load with the quality control shooters expect from a name they already trust. At the heart of this load is the 125 gr bullet with a gold dot hollow point (GDHP) design, matched to the .357 Magnum platform shooters already run. In our handgun ammunition lineup, this is the Speer load built for that job.
