Speer builds the Speer Gold Dot .45 ACP 230gr GDHP, 20-Round Box (brand part no. 23966GD) around a .45 ACP platform, loaded to duty-grade standards for law enforcement and armed professionals. Each round drives a 230-grain Gold Dot bonded hollow point bullet. This is a straightforward choice for shooters who want duty carry and professional use covered without guesswork. Speer backs the load with consistent quality control from lot to lot, so what you pattern or zero with today is what ships in the next case.

Key Specifications
