135 gr GDHP SB
By Edward S.

I use these in my Smith & Wesson model 32 . Hard to get reliable expansion in that short of a barrel in .38 S&W but these expand a lot and hold together with my Herco load that runs in the 850-900 fps range. I love them and always try to keep no less than 5 boxes on the shelf . They make the .38 S&W the equal of a .38 Special as a SD weapon. Highly recommended. Should get 10 stars but that's not an option. The 110 gr GDHP is great also.

Speer has a long history of turning out first class bullets, this are no exception. I have been using Gold Dot bullets for a long time and have never been disappointed.

Excellent product, just like all the othrr gold dots I've used. They are extremely accurate, so i only use gold dots for all my hunting needs.
Deep hollow point for lower velocities.

This is the 135 gr. short barrel version. Compare these to regular gold dots. You will see that this bullet is intended for lower velocity rounds. The hollow point is much wider and deeper. Accurate shooting bullet. I'll be buying more.
