Speer
Compact carry guns demand ammunition that performs as hard as you do. The Speer Gold Dot G2 Carry Gun 40 S&W 165 Grain brings proven law-enforcement terminal ballistics to your concealed pistol, engineered specifically for the shorter barrels and velocities of compact weapons. This load optimizes the legendary Gold Dot G2 bullet design—trusted by professionals for decades—and tunes it to deliver reliable expansion and penetration when fired from subcompact frames where velocity is at a premium.
What sets Gold Dot G2 Carry Gun apart is its distinctive nose design. Rather than a traditional wide hollow-point cavity, Speer engineered a shallow dish filled with elastomer material. On impact, that elastomer is forced into carefully designed internal fissures that initiate expansion in a controlled, consistent way. The result: extremely uniform mushrooming, clean petal separation, and predictable penetration—even when your round passes through intermediate barriers like clothing or drywall. The pressure-formed, structurally plated core virtually eliminates the jacket separation that can compromise performance.
You get 20 rounds of new production ammunition in reloadable boxer-primed brass cases, non-corrosive throughout. The 165-grain bullet weight is the sweet spot for 40 S&W: heavy enough for momentum and penetration, light enough to generate velocity even from a 3-inch barrel. Whether you're carrying a Glock 27, M&P Shield, or similar compact platform, this load is built to work with the ballistics your gun can actually deliver.
| Caliber | 40 S&W |
| Grain Weight | 165 Grains |
| Bullet Type | Jacketed Hollow Point |
| Bullet Design | Speer Gold Dot G2 |
| Quantity per Box | 20 Rounds |
| Case Type | Reloadable Brass |
| Primer | Boxer |
| Corrosive | Non-Corrosive |
Yes. Speer engineered this load specifically for compact and subcompact carry guns. The bullet design and velocity profile are optimized for the shorter barrels and lower velocities of concealed-carry platforms like Glock 27, S&W M&P Shield, and similar 40 S&W compacts.
The shallow dish cavity contains elastomer material that, on impact, is driven into engineered internal fissures in the bullet. This initiates expansion in a controlled and uniform way, resulting in more consistent mushrooming, better petal separation, and more predictable penetration compared to traditional hollow-point designs.
Yes. This ammunition is loaded in reloadable brass cases with a boxer primer, making them suitable for reloaders.
The 165-grain bullet weight is tuned for the 40 S&W, particularly from compact barrels. It balances the momentum and penetration you need for reliable terminal performance with the ability to generate adequate velocity from shorter pistol frames.
