LCP vs P380

[CougarRed]

Here are my complete thoughts on 380 ammo selection.

Essentially, flatnose FMJ is a conservative choice that penetrates better than any JHP. The problem with 380 JHP is that the bigger they expand, the less they penetrate.

So I chose the XTP bullet, which expands a little (from 0.355" to ~0.45") most of the time, and is able to penetrate 12" or more most of the time at 0.45" expansion.

Thanks for the input! I will look into that.

Buck 1959...My LCP has ran Critical Defense(which is in it right now),Gold Dots,Win.PDX-1,and Rem.Golden Saber hollow points flawlessly.
I have also used in FMJ WWB,Rem UMC,Fiocchi,Magtech,Blazer Brass,S&B,PMC,and Federal American Eagle also flawlessly.
LCP's are wonderful little pistols.
