The Grizzly Ammo GC38A1 delivers enhanced stopping power for compact 380 ACP pistols through its +P loading and 90-grain jacketed hollow point design. This premium defensive ammunition addresses the traditional limitations of 380 ACP cartridges by providing increased velocity and reliable expansion. Law enforcement agencies and concealed carry permit holders rely on this ammunition for situations where standard 380 loads may prove insufficient.
What Makes This Different
The +P pressure loading generates approximately 15% higher velocity compared to standard 380 ACP rounds, translating to improved terminal ballistics and penetration depth. The 90-grain jacketed hollow point projectile features a controlled expansion cavity engineered to open reliably even at the lower velocities typical of compact pistol barrels. Unlike standard ball ammunition, this hollow point design transfers maximum energy to the target while reducing over-penetration risks in defensive scenarios.
Key Features
- +P pressure loading for enhanced velocity and energy transfer
- 90-grain jacketed hollow point bullet with controlled expansion design
- Brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- Non-corrosive primers for reliable ignition in all conditions
- Compatible with all 380 ACP firearms rated for +P pressures
- Consistent powder charges for shot-to-shot accuracy
- Factory-fresh ammunition with quality control testing
This ammunition performs effectively in both full-size and compact 380 pistols, though users should verify their firearm's +P rating before use. The hollow point design expands reliably at impact velocities above 800 fps, making it suitable for personal protection scenarios. Range testing demonstrates consistent groupings at defensive distances, while the increased energy levels provide confidence in stopping power. The brass cases withstand multiple reloading cycles for shooters who handload their ammunition.
