The Underwood Ammo 380 ACP +P 90-grain Jacketed Hollow Point delivers enhanced stopping power and reliable expansion for compact pistols. This premium defensive ammunition transforms the mild-mannered 380 ACP into a serious self-defense cartridge through carefully engineered +P pressures and proven hollow point design.
What Makes This Different
Underwood's +P loading generates significantly higher velocities than standard 380 ACP ammunition, pushing the 90-grain JHP to approximately 1,000 feet per second from a 3.5-inch barrel. The jacketed hollow point bullet features a controlled expansion cavity that opens reliably at these enhanced velocities, creating larger wound channels than standard ball ammunition. This combination of increased velocity and reliable expansion addresses the traditional limitations of the 380 ACP cartridge for defensive applications.
Key Features
- 90-grain jacketed hollow point bullet optimized for controlled expansion
- +P pressures generate approximately 1,000 fps muzzle velocity
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and aid extraction
- Flash-suppressed powder reduces muzzle flash in low-light conditions
- Consistent powder charges ensure shot-to-shot velocity uniformity
- Compatible with all 380 ACP firearms rated for +P pressures
- 20 rounds per box packaging for range testing and carry rotation
This ammunition performs effectively in subcompact pistols where shot placement and expansion matter most. The enhanced velocity helps overcome barriers like heavy clothing while maintaining sufficient penetration depth. Law enforcement backup gun applications benefit from the increased terminal performance, while concealed carry holders gain confidence in their compact pistol's defensive capabilities. The nickel-plated cases feed smoothly through tight chambers common in pocket pistols.
