Overview of 380 ACP Ammo

380 ACP is a popular handgun cartridge known for its ease of carrying and use in self-defense. With a variety of small, lightweight pistols chambered in this caliber, its mild recoil and minimal muzzle blast make it a favorite among concealed carriers, police officers needing a backup gun, and casual target shooters.

Typical 380 ammo features an 85-95 grain bullet, .355 inch in diameter, and a 0.984 inch cartridge length. Despite fluctuating popularity over the last century, opinions on 380 ammo remain polarized, with shooters either loving or hating it, leaving little room for middle-ground discussion.

As demand for 380 ammo continues to grow, shooters appreciate its balance of manageable recoil, compact size, and reliable performance.

380 Ammo Ballistics: Chart of Average 380 ACP Ballistics

For shooters wanting an in-depth breakdown of velocity, energy, and trajectory, see our complete guide to 380 ballistics.

Since 380 ammo is often used for personal protection and self defense, the ballistics of the cartridges chosen greatly impact its performance. When people buy 380 ammo for self defense, they should look for a cartridge that penetrates at least 12 to 18 inches into ballistics gel, and expands to at least .35 caliber on impact. Expansion is precisely the job of a 380 ACP hollow point, which is why nearly every defensive load in this caliber uses a JHP bullet.

Remember, 380 shells are a low-powered round, so ammo selection, especially when buying bulk 380 ACP ammo, is vital to performance standards.

Note: This information comes from the manufacturer and is for informational purposes only. The actual ballistics obtained with your firearm can vary considerably from the advertised ballistics. Also, ballistics can vary from lot to lot with the same brand and type load.

    Simply, outstanding!

  • 2ndLtCSA said:

    I am impressed with ammo.com! I have a variety of calibers and now that I have experience with ammo.com, I know i can save both time and $$ shopping here. The only limiting factor is my wife lol. Justifying buying another gun is an easy skill to acquire and hone to perfection, to keep her on her toes, justifying the ammo first, is the alternative method to starting the gun itself - ammo.com is my new favorite place to hone my skills lol! Try them! You'll like em. A friendly bunch and gladly honored my request to avoid the dog killing FedEx shipping method. They have my business!! Good, accurate ammo, great prices, friendly staff, what more could an ammosexual redneck ask for?

  • butch said:

    Very satisfied with your ammo

  • Chris said:

    This ammo performed well in all of our pistols. While some ammo wouldn’t feed in the P365, this ammo ran through the Walther PK380, Sig P238 and Sig P365 without any failures.

  • Reb said:

    recently purchased 200 rounds and ran them thru my Walther PPKS no problems very pleased. Now, as far as Ammo.com I could not be more pleased shipped very fast. Just purchaed 500 more rounds.

  • Steve said:

    Love them man no complaints will order again soon

  • Old Man said:

    I carry a Smith & Wesson 380 Bodyguard 2.0 and find it the perfect personal protection weapon for my needs. I tried Honey Badger 380 and had 3 hangups in the first 10 rounds. I certainly can't count on that kind of performance for protection so I won't be purchasing any more.

  • Scott said:

    Shot 20 rounds of the Black Hills 380 ACP ammo with my S&W Bodyguard 2.0. No jams , bigger holes on the paper target than other 380 ammo I have tried.

  • DK said:

    Was considering the Honey Badger 65 grain for my S&W 380. It's a quality loaded ammo and impacts a one inch expansion on the target at 7 meters. I just couldn't shoot consistently accurate with it so chose another brand for my go to ammo for this gun. Others may not have this experience with it though.

  • Blorg said:

    These cycle well in a PPK/s stainless. Not all ammo does. Have seen the ballistics on these Honey Badger rounds and was impressed. As you know, a 380 is a nice conceal or backup gun but really the minimum in the way of stopping power. Noticed these bullets for the 380, as opposed to other Honey Badger calibers, have the machined flutes sharpened to a razor's edge. I know why they did that. ;-o

  • Rudy said:

    Easy to order. Delivered onmtime. Good value.

  • Shot Dr. said:

    For years, and I being a shooter for 50 yrs, .380 ammo has traditionally been scorned after just a few bad reviews and YouTube videos. I’d suggest those folks, respectfully speaking, learn to shoot accurately and with consistently maintaining all the fundamentals. Honey Badger is an excellent fill of powder and performance. It’s the only ammo I carry in my Glock 42 and Walther PPK/S .380.

  • Gene said:

    Great personal defence round. Feeds well. Beretta, Colt and Smith concealed carry.

  • Len said:

    No misfires, no problems. Great.
