The Short Barrel design places greater emphasis on bullet opening at reduced impact speed than on maximizing a muzzle-velocity number. The 230-grain bullet retains the caliber's classic heavy-projectile weight while changing the intended expansion behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Short Barrel series is more than a different package size: Speer designed these bonded hollow points to open across lower-velocity conditions. A nominal 820-fps rating identifies this ammo and differentiates it from the standard Gold Dot 230-grain load. That distinction is relevant because a shorter pistol barrel can change available muzzle speed without changing the nominal bullet weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 230-grain Short Barrel Gold Dot is a different defensive loading from Speer's conventional 230-grain Gold Dot. Its 820-fps specification belongs to a design aimed at the velocities produced by compact 45 ACP pistols. The bullet retains a bonded jacket and purpose-designed hollow point, rather than the non-expanding nose of ordinary practice ball ammunition. Speer sells the American-made, nickel-cased ammo in boxes of 20.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpeer Gold Dot Short Barrel 45 ACP Key Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e230-Grain Short Barrel Bullet:\u003c\/strong\u003e A heavy bonded Gold Dot hollow point is tailored to compact 45 ACP pistols.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-Velocity Expansion Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e The projectile is engineered with shorter-barrel impact speeds in mind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e820-FPS Specification:\u003c\/strong\u003e The published muzzle velocity is 820 fps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNickel-Plated Cases:\u003c\/strong\u003e The defensive load uses nickel-plated cases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Speer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49293716324579,"sku":"122331","price":32.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5100\/3875\/files\/122331.jpg?v=1783029672","url":"https:\/\/www.sportingsupplygroup.com\/products\/speer-gold-dot-short-barrel-45-acp-230-grain-hollow-point-hp-23975gd-20-rounds","provider":"Sporting Supply Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
