After testing the Speer G2 Gold Dot the next logical step was to try the standard Gold Dot and see if there was any real difference in performance.
Here is a link to the G2 Gold Dot test if you haven’t seen it.
The two bullets in bare gel both had a penetration of 15 inches with a velocity of 988 and 969fps. Expansion was also .57 inches each.
In heavy clothing one bullet penetrated 17.5 inches, expanded to .55 and had a velocity of 983fps. The other one went to 18.5 inches, expanded to .54 inches with a velocity of 972fps.
When I get a chance I will try some out of my three inch Kahr and see if it fares better than the G2.
