What .380 ammo do you carry?

[Blue Heeler]

I carry Hornady Critical Defense in my Remington RM380.

Well, I made a purchase today, I bought a Walther, but not the PK380. I purchased a PPS M2 in 9mm. Now I just have to wait for it to show up.

My FEG PA63 AP9 carries PMC Starfire 95gr. They're similar to Black Talons but without the coating.

People say I'm crazy but I carry ball ammo in my LCP,,,
With the weak-ish round I'm more concerned with penetration than expansion.

Good point!!!!!! Though some JHP ammo is hot enough to equal and surpass ball ammo penetration.

The Magtech Guardian Gold i tried in my LCP penetrated considerably more than the ball ammo i tried.

That's true but out of the short barrel of my "Elsie Pea",,,
I don't think they would effectively reach expansion velocity,,,
Much less penetrate through the cloth of even a spring-weight coat.

Honestly, I put down a cat with one hollow-point through the back of the head,,,
At point blank range the towel underneath the animal,,,
Stopped the hollow-point round.

I prefer to rely on multiple shots,

I practice shooting 4 rounds rather quickly, pause a moment,,,
And shoot the remaining 3 rounds,,,
Then a quick mag reload.

I realize it's not the ideal choice in cartridge,,,
But it makes me feel confidant enough.

A 100gr hardcast moving at 1150fps will prolly kill TF out of you, so...
