38 Special – 125 gr JHP – Speer Gold Dot (53722) – 1000 Rounds

Revolver carriers who want a proven bonded hollow point in 38 Special often choose Speer Gold Dot, and buying a full case covers both carry and training. This listing is Speer Gold Dot LE 38 Special 125 grain Gold Dot hollow point ammo, MPN 53722, sold as 1,000 rounds.

The Gold Dot bullet bonds the jacket to the core so it stays together while it expands, giving consistent penetration and weight retention. The 125 grain weight is a popular middle choice in 38 Special, light enough for good velocity from revolver barrels and heavy enough for adequate penetration. This load is designed for personal defense and duty use. Having 1,000 rounds of your carry load means you can train with it regularly instead of saving it for the holster.

This ammunition fits revolvers chambered in 38 Special, including the Smith and Wesson 442, 642, 638, Model 10, and 686, the Ruger LCR, SP101, and GP100, the Colt Cobra and Python, the Taurus 856, and the Kimber K6s, and it can also be fired in any 357 Magnum revolver or rifle. A common question is how to choose between a +P and a standard pressure 38 Special defensive load. Standard pressure loads recoil less in lightweight snub-nose revolvers, while +P adds velocity, so confirm your revolver’s rating and check the box markings. Another common question is whether 38 Special defensive loads work in a lever-action rifle. They do, and the longer barrel adds velocity, though lever guns are usually loaded with heavier 357 rounds.

Speer 53722 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by Speer in Lewiston, Idaho. The cases are brass and the load is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 1,000 rounds of 38 Special 125 grain Gold Dot. A full case from one lot supplies a revolver or two for carry, regular practice, and periodic replacement of your carried rounds for years.
