Spr Gold Dot 38s+p 135g Hp Sb 20/200

Speer Gold Dot 38 Special +P 135-grain hollow point ammunition delivers proven stopping performance built on Speer's proprietary Uni-Cor bonding technology. This is bonded-core ammunition engineered from the molecular level, where jacket and core are fused at the very beginning of bullet construction to virtually eliminate core-jacket separation—a fundamental advantage in duty applications where structural integrity under impact is non-negotiable.

The 135-grain hollow point cavity is precisely tuned for the 38 Special +P platform, optimizing controlled expansion and penetration depth to meet modern defensive handgun standards. At this weight and pressure level, the round balances recoil management with energy delivery—critical for shooters training with snub-nose or short-barrel revolvers where 38 Special +P ammunition is the standard upgrade path over standard 38 Special loads. The 20-round box format is the factory standard unit for this SKU (CCI23921GD), providing a ready training or duty reload quantity.

Law enforcement agencies, armed security professionals, and armed citizens relying on snub-nose revolvers or compact 38 Special handguns choose Gold Dot for its track record in field use. The +P loading makes this load suitable for duty carry in lightweight revolvers where standard-pressure alternatives may be considered underpowered. Gold Dot 38 Special +P ammunition is designed for self-defense and duty applications where barrier-blind performance and consistent expansion are operational requirements.

Speer's bonded-core technology remains one of the most widely adopted premium handgun ammunition designs across law enforcement. The 38 Special +P cartridge continues as a preferred load for backup weapons, off-duty carry, and training in agencies still fielding snub-nose revolvers as primary or secondary duty arms. When selecting 38 Special +P hollow point ammunition for defensive use, the Gold Dot line represents proven, field-tested engineering.
