Winchester S380PDB Defender 380 ACP 95gr Bonded JHP Ammo 20 Rounds

The Winchester S380PDB Defender delivers maximum terminal performance in a compact 380 ACP package, engineered specifically for personal defense applications. This bonded jacketed hollow point ammunition combines controlled expansion with deep penetration to stop threats effectively.

What Makes This Different

The bonded jacket construction prevents core separation during expansion, maintaining bullet integrity through barriers like heavy clothing or drywall. Standard hollow points often fragment or fail to expand consistently, while the Defender's bonded design ensures reliable expansion at 380 ACP velocities. Winchester's proprietary bonding process creates a permanent bond between the lead core and copper jacket, delivering consistent performance shot after shot.

Key Features

• 95-grain bonded jacketed hollow point for maximum stopping power
• Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and ensure smooth feeding
• Optimized powder charge delivers 955 fps muzzle velocity from 3.75-inch barrel
• Controlled expansion design penetrates 12-15 inches in ballistic gelatin
• Low-flash propellant reduces muzzle flash in low-light situations
• Consistent bullet seating depth ensures reliable chambering in all 380 ACP firearms
• Premium primers provide reliable ignition in all weather conditions

This ammunition performs consistently across popular 380 ACP platforms including subcompact pistols and pocket carry guns. The 95-grain bullet weight provides an optimal balance between velocity and energy transfer, generating 192 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. Testing shows reliable expansion down to velocities as low as 800 fps, making it effective even from short-barreled concealed carry pistols.
