Best .380 round

What is the best defensive round for .380 on the market? I'm used to .45's so I'm not sure what they have out there to make a BIG hole from a tiny .380 bullet.

Glaser Safety Slugs, Cor-Bons, Hydra Shoks or Quik Shoks (my favorite) :target: Blazers are not bad either

When I had a .380 I used to carry silvertips and hydrashocks. Both were reasonably accurate and had respectable numbers on the ft-lb scale. -UR

I carry Magtech Guardian Gold +P 85 grain jacketed hollow points. They go for about $10 for 20 rounds.

I think hydrashocks are better but I am a silvertip man and use them in all my calibers and they work very very well.
