If you just bought a pocket 380, the first job is proving it runs, and that takes a few hundred rounds of affordable practice ammo. This listing is Aguila 380 ACP 95 grain full metal jacket ammo, MPN 1E802110, sold as 500 rounds. It is a good fit for new carry pistol owners, instructors who teach with small guns, and anyone who wants a steady supply of 380 practice ammunition without buying a full 1,000 round case.
Aguila rates this load at 945 fps with 188 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, standard 380 performance. The round nose 95 grain FMJ feeds smoothly in compact single stack pistols, and its recoil is representative of most 380 defensive loads, so your practice carries over. As a non-expanding bullet, it belongs on the range. Pair it with a quality hollow point for carry once your pistol has proven reliable with this ball ammunition.
This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 380 Auto, also called 380 ACP or 9mm Short, such as the Ruger LCP II and LCP Max, Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 and Shield EZ 380, Glock 42, SIG P238, Kimber Micro, Walther PPK/S, Taurus Spectrum, and Bersa Thunder 380. A common question is how to break in a new 380. Fire a few hundred rounds, clean and lubricate the pistol, and note any malfunctions before you carry it. Another common question is whether 380 Auto and 38 Special are related. No. One is a semi-auto pistol round, and the other is a revolver cartridge.
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 listing ships as 10 boxes of 50 rounds for 500 total from one lot, a practical middle quantity for monthly practice through a season. Keep the empty brass, since it is reloadable and useful if you start handloading.
