.380 +P ammo

[WFM]

I was wondering if anyone has used .380+p ammo. I know most modern firearms say + p is ok for occasional use if it meets saami specs. Since there is no .380 +P specs, there is none saami approved. However I know of two companies making .380 + P ammo, Buffalo Bore and  Underwood Ammo.Just curious if anyone has tried it in their .380 pistols.

Don’t know about .380+p but I do know that European made ammo in that caliber (and many others) is generally loaded hotter than American made.

Really can’t imagine shooting +P in my LCP. It’s not fun to shoot with regular .380.

I agree, I have a LCP and it is not a pleasure. I was considering using it in my Sig P238 Legion. It is much more pleasant than the LCP.

WF...

I've used the Buffalo Bore in my Sig... It ain't bad to shoot... It will work just fine... If ya are concerned, order a new recoil spring from Sig... They probably need ta be changed every thousand rounds or so anyway, I'm thinkin..,

Hope this helps...

Ive carried and shot Underwood Ammo's LeHigh Defense load .380m+P in my LCP for a while now. It is snappy yes, but after a 13# recoil spring replacement Ive found it more than manageable. Out of the super short barrel it still sees 1000ft/sec+ typically
