It very well could be that ammo, but I would not be anywhere close to confident in that gun until it has shot at least a few hundred rounds of flawless shooting.
Your sample set of shooting was very small. You do not want to run into more FTEs while in the worst-case scenario.

Re: Just bought a Ruger LCP .380 Any Advice?
My first piece of advice...
Please, please, don't make this a primary carry. The pocket gun should be a last-resort type of carry.
I have a TCP738 .380, and occasionally, it's fine for pocket carry, but Lord help me if I'm ever in a situation where I need to defend myself and all I have is my little "mouse gun".
The LCP is a great little shooter. I bought a pocket holster Uncle Mike's (size 4) that works well, but again, it's only when I have no other options.
Next, shoot it!!! Shoot at least 1000 rounds through it. Make sure you're comfortable with its capabilities and you're comfortable that it will perform.
Most people buy these little .380's and never shoot them. They're not "fun" to shoot and .380 is expensive, so people neglect practice with their LCP or similar gun. Practice, practice, practice.
