best .380 defense ammo

[slowbutsure]

I carry a BDA. 14rds/13 in mag and one in the chamber. I train to start my shooting at 20ft./center mass. I also train at 8-10ft. with point of aim beginning at just under the chin and working up from there. I stack the rounds so that I get a start rd of FMJ followed by a HP. At the ranges I have mentioned I don't feel I need the ft#s of a .45. Placement, placement. Never forget PLACEMENT!

Remember you are supposed to be trying to extract yourself from a dangerous situation. Not getting into a gunfight. As you are pointing/shooting you should be retreating not advancing or even standing your ground. I think that 14rds should be enough to accomplish extraction. sbs

I just use 95gr. Winchester FMJ in my LCP because of all the disputedness of using .380 jhp ammunition. It feeds well, and most of the time I have another pistol in my truck or nearby that I could get to if needed.

Interesting about the FMJ Shawn Dodson.

the heaviest weight .380 fmj you can find is your best bet. most .380 jhp's don't expand consistently, and if they do, penetration is sacrificed.

I use Remington Golden Saber ammo in my LCP.

Remington uses a 102gr BJHP.
