Overview
Built for defensive use in compact carry pistols, this .380 ACP load is aimed at shooters who want a purpose-driven option for home defense or concealed carry. It uses a 99-grain HST jacketed hollow point and is listed at 1030 fps with 233 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, giving it a clearly defined role in personal protection. The nickel-plated casing and 20-round box format make it a straightforward choice for keeping defensive ammunition on hand.
