Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel .45 ACP 230gr HP Ammunition – 20 Rounds

Engineered specifically for compact and sub-compact carry pistols, Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel .45 ACP ammunition delivers the full-size performance you expect from one of the most trusted names in defensive handgun ammo. This 230-grain Gold Dot Hollow Point load is optimized for barrels as short as 1.9 inches, making it an ideal choice for concealed carry applications where barrel length would otherwise compromise terminal performance.

Unlike standard defensive loads that rely on higher velocities to initiate expansion, Speer’s Gold Dot Short Barrel design is specifically engineered to expand reliably across a wide range of velocities — giving compact pistol shooters consistent, predictable results whether at close range or extended distances. The low-recoil profile also helps manage felt recoil in lighter, shorter handguns, allowing for faster follow-up shots when it counts.

Each round features Speer’s iconic Gold Dot bonded projectile — built with a chemically bonded jacket to prevent core-jacket separation and ensure weight retention through a variety of barriers. The 820 fps muzzle velocity and reliable feeding geometry make this load well-suited for sub-compact semi-automatic pistols.
