The Buffalo Bore 27H20 Buffalo-Barnes Strictly Business delivers maximum stopping power from compact 380 ACP pistols through premium Barnes TAC-XP bullet technology. This +P loading transforms the modest 380 cartridge into a serious defensive round capable of reliable expansion and deep penetration. Lead-free construction meets environmental regulations while maintaining terminal performance standards demanded by law enforcement professionals.
What Makes This Different
The Barnes TAC-XP bullet features a solid copper construction with pre-stressed petals that open reliably at 380 velocities, unlike traditional hollow points that often fail to expand from short barrels. Buffalo Bore's +P loading pushes the 80-grain projectile to velocities typically reserved for larger calibers. This combination delivers consistent 12-15 inches of penetration with controlled expansion, meeting FBI protocol standards that standard 380 loads rarely achieve.
Key Features
- Barnes TAC-XP 80-grain solid copper bullet for guaranteed expansion
- +P loading generates 1,000+ fps from 3-inch barrels
- Lead-free construction complies with hunting and range restrictions
- Pre-stressed copper petals open at low impact velocities
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and feed smoothly
- 20 rounds per box with 12 boxes per case (240 total rounds)
- Compatible with all 380 ACP firearms rated for +P pressures
Field testing demonstrates this load's ability to penetrate heavy clothing and intermediate barriers while maintaining bullet integrity. The TAC-XP design retains 99% of its weight after expansion, ensuring maximum energy transfer to the target. Consistent velocities across temperature ranges make this ammunition suitable for year-round carry. The nickel-plated cases extract cleanly from semi-automatic pistols, reducing malfunctions during rapid fire sequences.
