Defensive .380 ammo for LCP???
#129690 - 16/03/09 06:10 AM

Can anyone steer me toward a good defensive load for the Ruger LCP? I sometimes have need for deep concealed carry, and this pistol has proved very reliable. Obviously .380 is not the first choice for defense, but I cant really carry anything bigger on some occasions. Glock 21 is my first choice.

Take a look at ballisticsbytheinch.com for some chronographed data on various .380 (as well as a bunch of others) factory defensive loads. We were very impressed by the CorBon DPX rounds across the board for velocity and terminal performance.
