380 Auto – 95 gr. TMJ – Speer Lawman (53608) – 1000 Rounds

Small 380 pistols are often the gun people carry most and practice with least, and a case of quality training ammo solves that problem. This listing is Speer Lawman 380 Auto 95 grain Total Metal Jacket round nose ammo, MPN 53608, sold as a 1,000 round case for pocket pistol owners, instructors, and indoor range regulars.

Speer rates this load at 950 fps with 190 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, a typical 380 ACP velocity that matches many 90 to 95 grain defensive loads, so your training recoil is realistic. The Total Metal Jacket bullet has a plated jacket that fully covers the lead core including the base, which reduces lead exposure at the firing line and keeps bores cleaner. Lawman is a training line, so this non-expanding load is for range practice rather than carry. Speer’s Gold Dot is the matching defensive option.

This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 380 ACP, also called 380 Auto or 9mm Kurz, including the Glock 42, Ruger LCP and LCP Max, Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 380 and M&P380 Shield EZ, SIG P238 and P365-380, Walther PPK/S and Beretta 84 and 85. A common question is whether 380 ACP can be fired in a 9mm pistol. No. The 380 case is shorter and the cartridge will not headspace correctly in a 9×19 chamber. Another common question is how often to practice with a pocket pistol. Even 50 rounds a month keeps grip and trigger skills current on these small, snappy guns.

Speer 53608 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Lewiston, Idaho. It uses reloadable brass cases with CCI primers and non-corrosive priming. The case ships as 20 boxes of 50 rounds for 1,000 total from one lot, which keeps feeding and point of impact predictable through a full year of practice.
