I paid $75/box so maybe you don't have to.
TL:DR it has good penetration and expansion for a Gold Dot. It really could use 100 fps more (I would think pressures would ok), and Fiocchi really needs to start using a mechanical crimp on the 5.7 vs this gluing bullshit. PS90 function was not good, I believe due to bullet tip design.  I prefer to carry the faster and lighter rounds in this caliber. I'd say if you can order this from your dealer and they don't rape you, $30/45 box for this would be a fair value.

5.7x28mm, Speer Gold Dot, 40gr JHP


Here's also the 22 mag Gold Dot version. 16" velocity of this load = close to 5.7 velocity from pistol..

22 Mag Equal To 5.7x28mm? Speer Gold Dot 40gr JHP

Thanks again for that expensive test OP. Good info.

I'm still not sold on this cal. Maybe in some dystopian future where soft body armor is universal..
