Product Overview
This Armscor .380 Auto load hits the sweet spot between manageable recoil and practical performance, making it an ideal choice for compact carry pistols. The 95-grain FMJ bullet, driven at 920 fps, delivers consistent feeding and functional reliability without the snappy recoil that often plagues lighter loads in this caliber. When you're running drills with your backup gun or smaller-frame pistol, this round's moderate energy level of 179 ft-lbs helps maintain sight picture without sacrificing the feedback needed for proper technique development.
Where this ammunition really shines is in extended range sessions with subcompact .380s. The brass casing ensures smooth extraction in finicky pocket pistols, while the standard-weight projectile maintains enough momentum to cycle reliably in both older and newer designs. If you're breaking in a new carry gun or teaching someone the fundamentals with a lighter-recoiling platform, these rounds offer the perfect balance of function and forgiveness. The controlled velocity also means less wear on your firearm compared to higher-pressure defensive loads, making this an economical choice for regular practice.
- 920 fps velocity is slightly less than typical .380 loads, providing improved recoil
- 95gr bullet weight offers good balance between recoil management and energy transfer
- 179 ft-lbs muzzle energy makes it suitable for defensive practice sessions
- Standard pressure load works reliably in most action types
- FMJ design limits expansion, making it primarily suitable for range use
- Slightly higher price point compared to basic range ammunition
- May be too "hot" for older surplus firearms designed for lower pressure loads
