The Speer Gold Dot G2 (MPN: 54256) is engineered for the uncompromising demands of law enforcement. Built specifically for semi-automatic pistols, this 230-grain .45 ACP load represents the next generation of duty ammunition, designed to overcome common ballistic obstacles while maintaining lethal efficiency.

Ballistic Engineering

The G2 features a sophisticated design that utilizes a shallow dish nose filled with an elastomer polymer. This prevents the hollow point from clogging when encountering heavy clothing or architectural barriers, ensuring the bullet expands as intended every time. By combining this with Speer’s Uni-Cor® electrochemical bonding process, the jacket and core remain locked together for nearly 100% weight retention.
