>You can even the energy buy using Buffalo Bore ammo. Higher velocity in .380 than typical shelf bought.

I'd be a little cautious using this ammo in any .380. Most .380s are fairly lightweight and without further info I'd be cautious whether mine would withstand 30% higher barrel pressure. I do know that not all 9 mm pistols can handle ammo rated +P reliably (Glocks can BTW). I'd check with the manufacturer before using ammo with higher than standard pressure in a .380.

"The energy produced by ammunition is what provides penetration and expansion. The more energy, the better the chance the projectile will penetrate and/or expand. In modern calibers like .357 SIG or .38 Super, all firearms available are of sufficiently recent manufacture to assure they can handle the pressures of modern defensive ammunition. This is not the case with rounds like .380 ACP, .45 Colt or .38 Special."
