Speer Gold Dot 40 S&W 180gr HP 23962GD Overview
Speer Gold Dot 40 S&W 180 grain hollow point 23962GD ammo provides a heavyweight 40 S&W defensive alternative to the company's 165-grain loading. The bonded construction aims to preserve projectile integrity as the hollow point opens. The 180-grain specification reflects one of the established heavier service-pistol bullet weights for this caliber.
A 180-grain 40 S&W bullet generally needs a different velocity specification than a lighter bullet to define the actual loading. Speer rates this ammo at 1,025 fps and produces its Gold Dot jacket through a bonding process that resists separation from the core. The slower nominal speed relative to Speer's 165-grain option is a characteristic of this factory load, not a measurement of how an individual pistol will perform.
Many 40 S&W users recognize 180 grains as a traditional heavier bullet weight, but Speer also offers a 165-grain Gold Dot with its own specifications. The 180-grain hollow point is distinguished by projectile mass, 1,025-fps rating, and bonded construction together. Speer sells the nickel-plated ammunition in 20-round packages manufactured in the United States. Jacket retention and an expansion-oriented nose are different aspects of the bullet's design.
