Owners of small 380 pistols often shoot at indoor ranges, where lead exposure and ammunition rules matter. This listing is Speer Lawman 380 Auto 95 grain total metal jacket ammo, MPN 53608, sold as 500 rounds. Lawman is Speer’s training line for law enforcement, and this 380 load is a clean, consistent practice round for backup and pocket pistols.
The total metal jacket bullet is plated over the entire lead core, including the base. That design reduces lead vapor at the firing line compared with a standard FMJ that leaves the base exposed, which is why many indoor ranges prefer TMJ. The 95 grain weight is the standard 380 bullet weight, so it should print close to the sights on most pocket pistols. A TMJ bullet does not expand, so this is training ammunition, not a carry load. We do not list a velocity because we could not confirm the published figure for this part number.
This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 380 ACP, also called 380 Auto or 9x17mm, including the Ruger LCP II and LCP Max, Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 and Shield EZ 380, Glock 42, SIG P238 and P365 380, Kimber Micro, Walther PK380 and PPK, and Browning 1911-380. A common question is why practice so much with a small 380. Short sight radius and light weight make small pistols harder to shoot well, so they actually need more practice than larger guns. Another common question is whether a 380 can fire 9mm Makarov. No. The 9×18 Makarov is a different, larger cartridge.
Speer 53608 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Lewiston, Idaho. It uses reloadable brass cases with boxer primers and non-corrosive components. The listing ships as 500 rounds from one lot, enough for a reliability check and many indoor practice sessions.
