380 Auto – 90 gr JHP – Black Hills (D380N120) – 500 Rounds

Owners of small 380 pistols rarely buy defensive ammunition by the case, but doing so lets you test reliability thoroughly and practice with the same rounds you carry. This listing is Black Hills 380 Auto 90 grain jacketed hollow point ammo, MPN D380N120, sold as a 500 round case for concealed carry and home defense.

This load is listed at 1,000 fps with 200 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 90 grain JHP is a widely used defensive weight for the 380, light enough to reach velocities that support expansion from short barrels. A jacketed hollow point is designed to open in tissue, reducing the risk of over-penetration compared with an FMJ, which is why it is the right bullet type for self defense. Black Hills loads with care for consistent velocity, which supports predictable performance.

This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 380 ACP, also called 380 Auto, including the Ruger LCP and LCP Max, Glock 42, Smith and Wesson Bodyguard and M&P380 Shield EZ, SIG P238 and P365-380, Kimber Micro, Springfield 911, Bersa Thunder, and Walther PPK. A common question is whether all 380 hollow points feed reliably in micro pistols. Not always. Bullet nose shape matters, so fire at least 100 rounds of your chosen load through your pistol and magazines before carrying. Another common question is whether 380 is adequate for self defense. With good shot placement and quality hollow points, many people carry it as a primary or backup round.

Black Hills D380N120 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in Rapid City, South Dakota. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and non-corrosive priming. This case ships as 25 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 500 rounds from one lot, enough to verify reliability, train regularly, and rotate fresh carry rounds.
