Recommended .380 bullet for defence?

Federal Hydra Shocks remain my favorite.

I recently tried the +P Underwood self-defense ammo with the Lehigh solid bullets.
Spicy & worked very well in my Glock 42.

They also offer the popular Hornady XTP in their line-up.

So far, I've been very impressed with Underwood's production with the Lehigh solids. I've only done some informal testing with their 9mm offerings, but waiting on an order for .380. The penetration is quite good and even though I'm not using ballistic gel, these bullet designs using "hydraulic" pressure are still very impressive on gallon jugs of water

I have some of the Ruger ARX ammo as well. These designs are really intriguing. Despite their "light weight" (actually typical, just not heavy), the high velocities, deep penetration and very large permanent wound cavity may really give conventional HP's some serious competition.
