I'm new here. Recently purchased an r380 stealth and I absolutely LOVE it. Smoothest trigger pull I've ever felt, no kick to speak of, lightweight, easy to conceal and fantastic accuracy within personal defense range.
Anyways, I figured starting a thread discussing which ammunition everyone uses and why they use it would be a good thing to do... especially given the impossibility of finding .380 for sale anywhere (at least in South Florida).
To start: I use Fiocchi 95 grain FMJ ball. It has terrific penetration and feeds well. It also happens to be relatively easy to find down here, and I wont carry ammo unless I can train with it.
Re: What ammo do you use?
Southpaw. Welcome to the Forum. I have a .380 but haven't shot it yet, mainly due to the ammo shortage. Again, welcome.
Gene. I've been looking for .380 Winchester Silvertips and haven't ever been able to find these. This is definitely more scarce than hen's teeth.
and $35.00, old stock, an individual is selling these.
You could be right on the .380 Silvertips. I can't find those at all.
Excellent price, indeed. Just might have to get some of the Gold Dots.
Well, let's hope so! Best news I've heard on Silvertips. Good luck on the birthday present!
THEY WILL BEGIN PRODUCTION ON THE SILVERTIPS ON APRIL 15!!!
She said they would start sooner if possible, but not likely...WOOHOO...FINALLY ON THE PRODUCTION SCHEDULE!
WyoShooter. Welcome to the Forum. Thanks for that excellent information. I've been trying to find out that very same thing. Thanks again for the info.
