Which 380 round did you decide on for personal defense?

Prior to selling my CW380 for a CM9 I used corbon-380-acp-70gr-powrball.jpg Cycled without failures and was very accurate.

I'm thinking of ordering a couple boxes of Black Hills Honey Badger to try in my CT380. Heard some good reports and a friend uses that bullet in .38 Special. Anyone tried them?

I tried them in my CT380 and I had one failure to feed out of 20 rounds.

My CT380 cycles Lehigh Xtreme Defense and Penetrator with no issues at all and that’s what I carry.

While both Lehigh and Black Hills use Lehigh bullets, the Honey Badger bullet shape is a little different and the OAL of the cartridge is longer. In my one instance of failure, the cartridge jammed on the feed ramp and would not chamber.

I know New Jersey has hollow points illegal, but are Lehigh Xtreme Defense and Penetrator considered legal or illegal?

I guess I am really out of it. Still carrying Buffalo Bore 90 grain jacketed hollow point +P. Dan

I've been carrying this for years... figured the extra velocity would give it a bit more penetration, P380 with 2.5" barrel used in testing. This +P load is a bear and I can't shoot it as well as I used to, so I'm kind of looking for a replacement... eventually. It's not my primary carry for EDC, but it's the one I carry all day around the house and for maximum concealment. I usually wear my P40 with the 4" Kahr ported barrel, loaded with 180-grain Golden Sabers, the top-rated .40 S&W round by Lucky Gunner's gel testing.
