As has been reported for many years, the Speer
Gold Dot .45 ACP 200 gr +P JHP is NOT recommended for duty use. This load has
demonstrated numerous failures to expand both in lab testing and in actual
officer involved shooting incidents; it also has exhibited numerous failures to
feed and function in a variety of .45 ACP pistol types.
