Description
The Speer Gold Dot Personal Protection Short Barrel in .357 Magnum is purpose-built for self-defense from compact revolvers with barrels as short as 1.9 inches. Speer’s signature Gold Dot Hollow Point uses an electrolytically bonded jacket-to-core construction that delivers consistent expansion and reliable penetration, even at the reduced velocities typical of short-barrel handguns.
This load pushes a 135 grain Gold Dot Hollow Point at 990 fps for 294 ft lbs of muzzle energy. The Short Barrel formulation produces less felt recoil compared to full-power .357 Magnum loads while still delivering the terminal performance expected from the Gold Dot line, helping get fast, accurate follow-up shots in defensive scenarios.
Each round is loaded in nickel-plated brass cases for smooth feeding, reliable extraction, and corrosion resistance. Designed specifically for home defense and concealed carry in sub-compact snub-nose revolvers and other short-barrel .357 Magnum handguns, this is a proven duty-grade defensive load.
