History of 380 ACP (Auto) Ammo
The .380 Automatic Colt Pistol (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 ammunition 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 ACP ammo remain polarized, with shooters either loving or hating it, leaving little room for middle-ground discussion.

380 ACP (Auto) Ballistics: Chart of Average 380 ACP (Auto) 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.
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.

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.

I purchased a case of the Fiocchi 380 auto 95 grain to break in and get comfortable with my new S&W bodyguard 2.0. I plan on making this my everyday concealed carry. The Fiocchi worked great without any issues. I ran 200 rounds through so far and really like this new gun. I will be going back to the range tomorrow to run a couple hundred more rounds through to insure it's reliability. Would definitely buy again.

Just got a Sig Sauer P238 for myself. First day at the range, 50 rounds Fiocchi 95 gr FMJ, ran through with no problems at all. Have used Fiocchi 115gr 9 mm in another pistol, also worked fine.

I recently bought my wife a Sig Sauer P238 .380 pistol. I also bought 100 rounds of Fiocchi ammo to go with it. At the range , this ammo would cause a jam every second or third round. I manually unloaded the clip and loaded it with Federal ammo and it performed perfectly with no jams.

Sanjay said:
The ammo is well priced and I have had no jams in a bodyguard 2.0 which is a small pistol. The gun is relatively clean after use, it uses the bodyguard 2.0's 2 section ramp flawlessly. The ammunition is accurate and is good for a self defense gun. I will buy again.

I have used countless ammo types, ranging from old Union Metallic Company ammo, to Remington, to Blazer, and many others, and I can honestly and truthfully say that I have never, ever had a problem with Magtech ammunition. I use Magtech both in my Colt Mustang Mark IV .380 and in my .38 Special revolver, and I love it tremendously. This ammo has been most recommended to me by shop owners, gunsmiths, CWP trainers, and even law enforcement officers, due to its value and reliability. Out of the grand total of 3000 rounds of Magtech ammunition I have used between two of my handguns, I have had a grand total of 1 bad bullet (it was a dud). I LOVE LOVE LOVE Magtech ammunition and would gladly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good ammo without paying an arm, a leg, and a kidney for it.

Pocket Carry Guy said:
I used this ammo to break-in a new 380 semi auto, and it did the job. I put the first 50 rounds through the weapon and had 2 FTF's. The receiver failed to seat fully causing a miss fire. I tapped it forward and it fired. By the time I fired all 100 rounds, the weapon worked perfect. Worked great for me.
