Description

Buffalo Bore's Strictly Business line brings genuine defensive performance to the often-dismissed 380 ACP without the harsh recoil that comes with +P ammunition. This standard-pressure load pairs a 90-grain jacketed hollow point bullet with brass cases and quality construction that consistently delivers around 1,025 fps. The 90-grain projectile strikes a practical balance in a caliber where penetration and expansion can work at odds with each other, offering enough bite for close-range defensive situations without the heavy recoil penalty.

What Makes Strictly Business 380 Different

Where this ammo separates itself from lighter or overly aggressive 380 loads is the pressure discipline. Standard-pressure loading means this will cycle reliably through any 380 ACP platform on the market, whether you're carrying a lightweight pocket pistol that struggles with +P loads or shooting a slightly larger defensive carry gun. The brass cases won't stress older firearms or micro-compact designs the way hotter ammunition can. Many carriers find that consistent, reliable function matters more than chasing maximum velocity when the target is close range and shot placement is paramount.

Real-World Performance Expectations

Buffalo Bore invests in real-world testing rather than just laboratory barrel length claims. The velocities published reflect what you actually get from practical carry guns with typical barrel lengths, not idealized test conditions. The 90-grain hollow point design focuses on creating predictable terminal performance when it matters, and the standard-pressure envelope keeps shooters confident in their firearm's durability over time. Each round comes in Strictly Business packaging with 20 rounds per box, typical for a carry-focused product line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this load function reliably in lightweight pocket pistols like the LCP or P238?

Yes. The standard-pressure loading is specifically designed to cycle reliably across all 380 ACP firearms, including the lightest blowback pistols that can struggle with +P ammunition. Buffalo Bore engineered the Strictly Business line around this compatibility, so you get consistent function without worrying about whether your carry gun will feed the round.

How does the 90-grain hollow point perform compared to lighter 380 defensive ammunition?

The 90-grain weight keeps the bullet moving at a velocity where reliable expansion becomes more likely while maintaining adequate penetration for defensive purposes. Lighter 380 loads often over-expand and underpenetrate, while heavier projectiles can fail to expand at all. Buffalo Bore selected this weight for the 380's effective range to strike that balance.

Is this ammunition suitable for self-defense carry?

This load is built specifically for defensive use. The jacketed hollow point design, quality brass cases, and controlled standard-pressure loading combine to create reliable performance when you need it. As with any carry ammunition, function-test a box through your specific firearm before carrying it to ensure absolute reliability.

Can I practice with this ammunition, or should I save it for carry only?

You can practice with it if you want, though most carriers preserve defensive ammunition and use cheaper full-metal-jacket rounds for range sessions. If you do practice with the Strictly Business load, you'll get a better sense of how your carry gun handles the ammunition you're depending on, which is always worthwhile before trusting it for protection.
