Re: .380 ammo

I just picked up my LCP last night and have been looking around for local ammo so that I could test it. At first, none of the Wal-Marts in my area had .380 but I went back to the closest one last night and they had 100 round boxes of Winchester 95 grain FMJ for $31.xx. I paid $20.xx at Academy for 50 rounds. I won't be going back to Academy again.

Nowhere locally can I find JHP .380. I've been on lots of forums reading about the +P debate on LCPs and am not going there. Several posters made the point that ball rounds are more effective in .380 but it still sounds like JHP is the way to go, even in the .380.

I'm not in any hurry. I really bought the LCP for times when it is nearly impossible to conceal my Sig and this is not that kind of weather. I would like to find a place for PP ammo for the LCP before next Spring. I want to shoot enough of the PP rounds through the LCP that I'm confident it won't give me feed problems.
Cannot really comment on .380 performance. I don't currently have one.
But CTD in McKinney has a variety of .380 ammuniton.
