380 ACP Handgun Ammunition 5 Items

The .380 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) rounds come in various types tailored for specific purposes. For self-defense, hollow point (HP) rounds like the Federal Hydra-Shok and Hornady Critical Defense are popular due to their expansion upon impact, maximizing stopping power.

Full metal jacket (FMJ) rounds are preferred for target shooting and training, offering reliable feeding and less wear on the firearm. Individuals who carry a .380 ACP often value its compact size and reduced recoil.
