3 More P380 Ammo Tests

Doing 5 tests in a day makes for quite a bit of editing work, but I learned some stuff. Here are the other 3 tests from the weekend.

Wow, Bruce, you talk about timing! I just bought a Taurus 738 TCP 380 and needed to know about ammo for it. Thanks and hats off to you and your very informative blog!

Thanks for the reports. It's a real public service.

Being self funded I have to pace myself a bit. I did order a box of 380 DPX and Magtech's First Defense last week. I also picked up Power Ball and the standard Corbon. After I let the credit card cool off a little, I'll pick up the all copper rounds from Double Tap and Buffalo Bore. I've also been approached by a distributor of Lehigh Defense ammo that has offered up test ammo so I'm thinking 5 way test of all the 380 solid copper rounds at some point later this Spring.

I hope to get through all the 380 HPs eventually.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to help with the feed and function questions, but you should be able to narrow down the field a bit before you start buying different ammo to try.

Thanks for the comments about the blog. It's been a ton of work and time, but I've enjoyed building it up. I hope it will stand as a good reference for others in the future.

Thanks! I was hoping it would be just that for the shooting and CC community.

Just in passing, Hornady Critical Defense works great in my PT738

Thanks! I hear a lot of reports like this on the Hornady Critical Defense for a lot of small guns. I'll PM you. Don't want to jack the thread, but would like to pick your brain.
