380 AUTO Ammo

The 380 ACP (aka 380 Auto, 9x17mm or 9mm Browning Court) may not match 9mm ammo in terms of striking energy, but it makes a great choice for concealed carry when you’re trying to keep the lowest profile possible. Pick an 85 grain or heavier jacketed hollow point (JHP) for personal protection – or any old full metal jacket (FMJ) for target shooting – and you’ll be on the right track. Load up with in-stock, bulk 380 ACP ammo for the range and defensive loads for sale below.

More About 380 Auto Ammo


Here's a look at some of the most common questions our fellow shooters have about 380 ACP ammo.

380 ACP vs. 9mm

What Does “ACP” Stand For?

“ACP” is a designation given to many different cartridges. Standing for “Automatic Colt Pistol,” this moniker is used by cartridges that were created by Colt’s Manufacturing Company, more commonly known simply as “Colt.” The cartridges, including the .25 ACP, .32 ACP, and .45 ACP, are all made specifically for Colt firearms. For marketing purposes, companies want their name on ammunition, so while the .38 ACP was created by the famous designer John Browning, he was working for Colt at the time so it took the “ACP” surname.

Are the .380 ACP and .38 Special Interchangeable?

There is a chance you would be able to fit the .380 ACP in a firearm made to fire .38 Special, but we definitely don't recommend it. These cartridges have slightly different dimensions for both bullet and neck diameter (the .38 Special is slightly wider), and the overall length is significant, as the .38 Special is over a half-inch longer. Also, the .380 ACP is designed for pistols, while the .38 Special is generally a revolver cartridge.

Why is the .380 ACP Less Common than Cartridges Like the .38 Special and 9mm Luger?

The .380 ACP is certainly not a exotic cartridge, but you are less likely to find it at the range than the .38 Special and 9mm Luger. There may be many reasons for this, but it really comes down to power. The .380 ACP rarely has muzzle energy over 215 foot-pounds unless it is “+P,” a high-pressure, cartridge. The .38 Special often exceeds 250 foot pounds, while the 9mm Luger is usually well above 300 foot-pounds.

Is the .380 ACP Reliable for Self Defense?

Yes. Despite the smaller stats, the .380 ACP is certainly capable of stopping a threat. In fact, many concealed-carry enthusiasts appreciate the small, compact nature of the .380 ACP, claiming it allows for convenient, discreet firearms that still carry a reliable number of rounds. If choosing rounds for self defense, look for expanding bullets such as jacketed hollow points. You might take a look at our 380 ACP gel test results below to get an idea of how each round performs relative to others under identical circumstances.

Why is .380 ACP More Expensive, Despite a Smaller Size?

If you compare the .380 ACP to other cartridges such as the 9mm Luger or .38 Special, you will often find that it is slightly more expensive, or at the very least the same price as these rounds despite having a smaller profile. Generally, smaller rounds, which require less material, are cheaper, but because other rounds are often produced at higher volumes, manufacturers (and hence distributors) can charge less for the cartridge. Many militaries across the world use 9x19 ammo in duty - so there's a ton of it produced annually all over the world. This is why you may find comparable .380 ACPs are as much as $.05 more per round than, say, the 9mm Luger.
