Pocket pistols are easy to carry but hard to shoot well, and the cost of hollow points usually keeps owners from practicing with the load they carry. This listing is Fiocchi Defense Dynamics 380 Auto 90 grain jacketed hollow point ammo, MPN 380APHP, sold as a 1,000 round case so you can train and carry with the same cartridge.
Fiocchi rates this load at 975 fps. The 90 grain JHP is a common defensive weight for the 380, light enough to keep velocity up from short barrels while still offering expansion. A hollow point is the right bullet type for self defense because it is designed to open and slow down in the target, reducing pass-through compared with a full metal jacket. Packaged in 50 round boxes, Defense Dynamics is priced closer to range ammo than most premium defensive loads, which makes high round count practice practical.
This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 380 ACP, also called 380 Auto or 9mm Kurz, including the Ruger LCP and LCP Max, Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 380 and M&P380 Shield EZ, Glock 42, SIG P238, Walther PPK, Kimber Micro, and Taurus Spectrum. A common question is whether 380 ACP is the same as 9mm Luger. It is not. The 380 uses a shorter case and lower pressure, so the two are not interchangeable. Another common question is whether hollow points feed reliably in tiny pistols. Most do, but some micro 380s are sensitive to bullet shape, so run several magazines through yours before carrying.
Fiocchi 380APHP is new production ammunition, not reloads. Each round uses a reloadable boxer-primed brass case and non-corrosive priming. This case ships as 20 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 1,000 rounds of 380 Auto 90 grain JHP from one lot. That supply is enough to qualify your carry gun, practice monthly, and rotate fresh rounds into your magazines for a long time.
