Re: good ammo for a 380acp
My experience with my 380 is that it induces stoppages to try use hallows and some would believe that it is best to use good quality ball in a 380. If you could find some gold dots or something and they feed reliably then ok, further to that, stick to ball.

Re: good ammo for a 380acp
Ball ammo period. You need adequate penetration (read 12" or more) which you won't get with .380ACP JHP's, hence the ball recommendation.

I run 102gr Golden Sabers in my Mustang. Sadly 380acp is very tough to find. You could try Tac Shack? I know at one point they had the Hornady stuff.

Re: good ammo for a 380acp
i only use Hornady Critical Defense 90gr FTX in all my 380ACP pistols, and that includes a Sig P230, Walther PPK/S, Ruger LCP and two S&W Bodyguard 380 pistols. I like the round, and have fired a couple of boxes of this ammo, and i feel it is the best as far as i am concerned... Also it does not generate +P or +P+ pressures, this particular round, so it is safe to use in anything, +P, +P+ or no +P rated, good to go in all...
