I picked up this little one yesterday. I plan on using this with a pocket holster. Should be good for when I'm on the bike. I've been wanting something very small for some time now. Just to have when I don't feel like carrying larger. I'd be interested to see some pocket holsters if any of you guys like to use those.  |

Nice, drof.
I'm wondering if you carry FMJ out of that LCP as a SD round?
I saw Buffalo Bore sold some semi flat-nose that penetrated well, but might do a bit more damage.
Also, the best two SD loads I've seen in .380 were Speer Gold Dot and Hornady Critical Defense. Both penetrated about 11" in gelatin. Ideally, 12" is the goal, but 11" is not far off.

I just got this gun a couple days ago. I've yet to make a pocket holster for it. I buy at a very small local guy and all he had in stock was FMJ. I will look closer at the rounds you mentioned. I will be carrying something other than FMJ for sure once I start to carry this regularly.

Here are some vids of the better .380 loads. Notice that the Winchester loads really failed:
Some real failures:
Other loads to the right on Youtube.

Hornady Critical Defense has my vote ! The Winchester loads did well in other calibers. In .40 Cal, nothing seems to touch that guy's results using the Winchester Ranger load. They open almost as much or more than most .45 loads did, which is pretty amazing. |

Great videos! Looks like I need to find the Hornadys.
