Why over-think it?
When I dropped my personal retirement CCW caliber threshold to include a LCP, I tried mine with the hollowpoint loads available to me at the time. This included Rem HPJ (Golden Sabre), Speer GDHP & Win RA380T (T-Series). All fed, fired & functioned normally in my gun, in my hands. All were surprisingly accurate during all drills in my hands. (Yes, I also tested the Win FMJFP ball loads, as they were available as training/qual ammo, but I want to carry hollowpoints which feed & function in my LCP.)
I settled on the Speer Gold Dot & Win T-Series. Why? Simply because both loads are available to me at this time in greater quantities than the Rem Golden Sabre.
If other loads by Hornady & Federal were more available, I'd check them for feeding & functioning in my LCP, in my hands, and include them as alternatives in my retirement ammo.
What good quality defensive .380 ammo is available to you in your area, and does it feed & function in her LCP in her hands?
How well can she shoot it, and do so under some demanding circumstances?
