VIDEO: First Look At SCCY’s New, Ultra-Compact CPX-3 Pistol

Tag: .380 ACP

.380 ACP ammunition, also known as 9mm short or 9x17mm, is a popular and versatile round in the firearms community. Developed by John Browning in 1908 and adopted by Colt as the Model 1908 Pocket Pistol, it has since become a staple for concealed carry handguns due to its compact size and manageable recoil. The cartridge features a bullet diameter of .355 inches with an overall length of .68 inches and typically weighs between 90-100 grains.

Although some may argue that it lacks stopping power compared to larger caliber rounds, advancements in modern bullet designs have made the .380 ACP capable of delivering adequate terminal performance for self-defense situations. Additionally, many manufacturers offer affordable practice ammunition which makes it an ideal choice for training purposes. Overall, the versatility and convenience of this round make it an excellent option for those seeking a reliable and effective handgun cartridge.
