| Need info about 380 ammo I received a letter today that my stimulent check had been deposited in one of my accouts. So now I'm ready to buy a Ruger LCP 380 semi-auto pistol. Does anyone here know what would be the best cartridge to load in this small pistol for concealed carry ? Thank you A.H |

| AH--I've shot these in 380 and other calibers (45 ACP, 45 Colt, .38+P, .357) from this ammo maker. It's some of the best defensive stuff I've found, particularly in the .38 +P arena. Might also look at Cor-Bon. Product Line Listing

| TXplt awsom totaly awsom !!!!! I'm sold on Buffalo Bore LOL !!! Thanks a MILLION !!! I've got to go back and go over the whole site for sure. I found out a little while ago around here the Ruger LCP is on back order with no delivery date in site. And the few gun stores we have, have a waiting list but I'm on the top of one. I'd like to have the Ruger SR 9 but thats getting away from comfortable concealed carry. I may be ought to buy a Mosin Nagant rifle until the LCP come in !!! LOL...A.H |

| Sounds like the Buffalo ammo has a big jump in pressure over some others. As they say there is no free lunch. I wonder where the pressure limits are. I tested some 380 ammo myself in a PPKs and found that the Magtech gave 950fps Remington was 920. Both were 95g FMJ RN.
