More than half the stash of .380 I accumulated by using my Academy routine is JHP. For a few weeks it was all they had. Not the fancy stuff, just their own brand Monarch 94gr JHP. Both the JHP and FMJ Monarch 380 has performed flawlessly in my Bersa. It was pretty cheap too about $13 / 50 box IIRC. This was last summer so it may have gone up since then.
would you want to use Monarch JHP to protect yourself?

If you are looking for .380 ammo I've found that Academy stores are the best source. I called around all their local stores early every morning, and rushed off to the store if they had some in. After a few trips I had all I wanted.

There are a couple of forums that have some good information about Bersa pistols. As with most online gun forums some patience can be needed...

I see FMJ at Academy but never JHP
Academy only sells a few JHP, asked the guy behind the counter about it the other day, basically his theory is Academy didnt want to seem "Too Militant" to the ordinary folks, thats why they only have a handful of ARs and Semi Autos and no AKs, they dont sell Human Shaped targets, and dont sell Normal Camo Colors only hunting camo.
If Academy sold more of the "Fun Stuff" I would go there alot more.
