Pocket pistols are easy to carry but hard to master, and the only way to shoot one well is to practice with it often. This listing is Aguila 380 Auto 95 grain full metal jacket ammo, MPN 1E802110, sold as a 1,000 round case. Buying a full case gives 380 owners enough affordable ammunition to break in a new pistol, run a full reliability check, and keep practicing through the year.
Aguila rates this load at 945 fps with 188 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 95 grain FMJ is the standard bullet weight for the 380, and its round nose profile feeds smoothly in small single stack magazines. Recoil from a small 380 can be sharp, so lots of trigger time with economical ammunition is the best way to build control. A full metal jacket bullet does not expand, so this is range ammunition. Use a quality hollow point for carry.
This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 380 ACP, also called 380 Auto, 9mm Kurz, or 9x17mm, including the Ruger LCP and LCP Max, Smith and Wesson Bodyguard and M&P Shield EZ 380, Glock 42, SIG P238 and P365 380, Walther PPK, Kimber Micro, and Beretta 84. A common question is whether 380 Auto and 9mm Luger are interchangeable. No. The 380 case is shorter and loaded to lower pressure, so never fire it in a 9mm pistol. Another common question is how many rounds a new pocket pistol needs before carry. Many instructors suggest at least 200 rounds without a malfunction.
Aguila 1E802110 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in Mexico. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and non-corrosive components. The case ships as 20 boxes of 50 rounds for 1,000 total from one lot, which keeps function and point of impact consistent while you build skill with a small pistol.
