Fiocchi loads this .380 Auto with a 95-grain FMJ bullet at 960 fps, producing 194 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. That puts it near the top of the standard-pressure .380 FMJ category. The Armscor 95gr runs 920 fps and 179 ft-lbs, while the CCI Blazer Brass at the same bullet weight manages 945 fps and 188 ft-lbs. The brass case is clean and consistent, and the round nose profile feeds smoothly in compact pistols where reliability is everything.

Fiocchi has been making ammunition in Lecco, Italy since 1876, and they operate a US production facility in Ozark, Missouri as well. Their powder charges tend to burn clean, which you will appreciate during longer range sessions when fouling starts to build up. The slightly higher velocity over competitors like the Ammo Inc 100gr TMC (890 fps) and the Armscor 95gr means this round cycles with confidence in most .380 platforms, including the notoriously picky micro-compacts. You get enough energy to work steel targets without worrying about splashback issues common to slower loads.

This Fiocchi load is built for target shooting and training with your .380 carry pistol. It gives you consistent point of impact and enough recoil to simulate your defensive loads during practice. The FMJ bullet type limits it to range use, but that is exactly where it shines. Whether you are working on accuracy fundamentals, running timed drills, or just putting rounds on paper to stay sharp, this is a solid training round that punches a little harder than most of its competitors in the same price range.
