Since just about any 380 fmj round will penetrate 20+ inches what difference does it make how hard it kicks?I shoot russian hardball in my LCP.It kicks harder than the American stuff.Must be more powerful.
In every case I saw where the round was a fmj the victim died on the spot.
Would you choose the FMJ or Critical Defense which is suppose to open up and expand through layers of clothing? I would think if I chose FMJ it should be a fairly hot load maybe just below +P. So, if you were to choose FMJ, what quality load would you trust your life with?
Because Ruger advises against +P I opted to not use it in the LCP along with the additional recoil (follow up shot) issues.On a show about a homicide department, they feature victims who died. You don't say. Edit: To clarify, I wouldn't expect a show about homicide to feature all the victims who had been shot by FMJ, or anything else for that matter, and survived.

Currently just regular Blazer Brass FMJ for me, for the simple reason that it feeds and shoots without issues. Since there is not a universal standard in the shooting world for what constitutes +P .380, it may be difficult to determine what's just below it. Ruger also advises against the use of any ammunition claiming the ambiguous +P designation in the caliber.

FMJ for me the S&B ammo runs fine in my P3AT, and that's what I keep it loaded with. I'll take the penetration of the FMJ ammo from a short barreled .380 over a little possible expansion
