Included are some expansion and penetration charts as well as velocity comparisons. Most impressive is a pic of Gold Dot ammo after impacting a steel plate:

Ive been researching these rounds for a while.  Brinks armored car service swears by this round, but I have been carrying Cor-Bon for a while.  I think I might make the swtch...if not to Gold Dot at least to a bonded round.

Thanks again Eric,

I'm sold. I'll be picking up some Gold Dot!!!

Test fire all brands, in your particular firearm for reliability. GS ammo has a "large HP" larger in diameter than other brands.

I have them, trust them, and shoot them, in .380 and .40, but gave them a hard test drive before carrying in SD.

Just my .02 cents for any round or brand.

Know how it works in your firearm before you trust it.

The GS ammo, is a great ammo especially in .380.

Been carrying their .38 & .357 magnum "Short Barrel" loads for a couple of years.  Good stuff with a solid LE reputation.

I carry GD 147g 9mm at work and GD .45 ACP short barrel in my CC G30.  Just about all the LE organizations around here use GD.

Carry the .40 S&W 180 Grain for duty; and short barrel 180 grain .40 S&W in off duty P239.
