The Buffalo Bore 27C20 Personal Defense ammunition delivers enhanced stopping power in the compact 380 ACP platform through +P pressures and premium jacketed hollow point construction. This load transforms the 380 ACP from a marginal defensive cartridge into a serious personal protection option with reliable expansion and deeper penetration.
What Makes This Different
Buffalo Bore's +P loading generates significantly higher velocities than standard 380 ACP ammunition, pushing the 90-grain jacketed hollow point to approximately 1,200 feet per second from a 3.5-inch barrel. The enhanced pressure creates better terminal ballistics while remaining within safe operating parameters for modern firearms. This represents a substantial improvement over typical 380 loads that struggle to achieve consistent expansion at lower velocities.
Key Features
- +P pressure loading for maximum 380 ACP performance
- 90-grain jacketed hollow point bullet optimized for expansion
- Flash-suppressed powder reduces muzzle flash in low light
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and aid extraction
- Match-grade components ensure consistent accuracy
- 20-round boxes provide adequate supply for carry rotation
- Compatible with all modern 380 ACP firearms rated for +P pressures
Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion in ballistic gelatin while maintaining adequate penetration depth for defensive scenarios. The jacketed hollow point design feeds reliably in semi-automatic pistols while providing controlled expansion upon impact. This ammunition performs consistently across temperature ranges and maintains accuracy standards suitable for defensive distances up to 25 yards.
