Its been a long time since I've read about this so what are you using in you .380 for self defense. I've started carrying my glock 42 more lately because its convenient and I know the velocity of the .380 limits expansion/penetration. Is there anything new worth looking at?

I like the Lehigh Defense 90gr Xtreme Penetrator. Watch the ballistics tests, from them and 3rd parties. Interesting projectile and cause for surprisingly large wound channels.

Didn't they give you a box of it at the IV8888 range day or was that the 9mm?

Both lol. And more than one box of each I've since done a lot of research and like that projectile a lot. They run fine in my 19 and 42 also.

Yupp it was a good idea for underpowered rounds. They seem to perform pretty well.
