The .380 has a reputation problem when it comes to self-defense ammunition. Most options either fail to expand reliably or don't penetrate far enough. Buffalo Bore's Strictly Business +P addresses that head-on with a load specifically designed to give compact .380 pistols capabilities you'd normally expect from larger calibers.
This load pushes a 90-grain jacketed hollow point to 1200 fps, generating 288 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. That velocity envelope puts it in rare territory for the .380, trading blows with standard 9mm loads while still fitting in guns that weigh just a few ounces. Real-world testing from full-size pistols shows velocities in the 1150-1160 fps range, while even compact barrels under 3 inches maintain speeds around 1100 fps. The hollow point is engineered to expand reliably at these velocities while maintaining sufficient penetration for personal defense scenarios.
Buffalo Bore loads this ammunition with flash-suppressed powder, which matters if you ever need to use your gun in low-light conditions. The bright muzzle flash from standard .380 loads can degrade your night vision and give away your position. The brass cases are reloadable, giving you options if you want to stretch your ammunition investment over time. Each box holds 20 rounds, packed in cases of 12.
The +P rating means this load operates above standard pressure. It cycles reliably in full-size and mid-size .380 pistols, though some very lightweight pocket models may experience sharper recoil. If you're carrying a compact .380 for personal defense, you're already making a compromise on power. This ammunition removes the second part of that equation, ensuring your gun performs at its potential rather than leaving power on the table.
Yes. This load is designed to function reliably in everything from full-size .380s to compact models like the Browning BDA and Walther PPK/S. Very lightweight pocket pistols like the Kel-Tec P3AT will cycle it, though you'll notice sharper recoil due to the higher velocities. If reliability is a concern with your specific gun, test a small sample before committing to a full box.
Buffalo Bore rates this load 150-200 fps faster than conventional .380 hollow points, putting it in performance territory comparable to some standard 9mm loads. You're getting better penetration, better expansion reliability, and more kinetic energy downrange. The tradeoff is noticeably more recoil in ultra-compact pistols, but that's the nature of pushing a small cartridge to its potential.
Yes. The ammunition uses brass cases with Boxer primers, making them suitable for reloading if you have the equipment and knowledge to do so. This can help offset the cost of running premium defensive ammunition through practice sessions or training drills.
Don't. Respect your firearm's rating. The +P designation on Buffalo Bore ammunition is specifically for guns that can handle higher pressures. If your .380 isn't rated for +P loads, stick with standard pressure options. When in doubt about your specific gun's capabilities, check the manual or contact the manufacturer directly.
