    LCP and no +P

    Got a LCP this weekend and find I now can make sure I always follow the 1st rule of a gun fight, now I am having A LOT of trouble with rule 2. Where the heck is all the .380 ammo going???? I guess I might have to just throw the gun at the bad guy. Now the Kel-Tec says it can have +P just not continously. The LCP manual states DO NOT USE +P. Are most hollow point self defense ammo +P or is the +P stuff just really hot hollow point ammo? I have only seen +P in 38spl.

    Anybody have any ammo they recommend for .380? (when I can find it)

    Thanks

    I am carrying Silvertips in mine, but they are old stock that I have had. I think most of my .380 ammo is old stock that I have had. I have not seen much .380 on gun store shelves lately.

    There is no spec for +P in the .380, IIRC it only exists in the .38 Special, 9mm, and .45acp

    Good luck, 380 is impossible to find in my area. Fortunately I have several hundred rounds squirreled away.

    The only 380 I've found has been in 50 rd boxes for > $60.00 ... and even then it doesn't last long. No thanks, I'll carry my big calibers until that price works itself back down.

    Congrats on the LCP though!

    Anything will shoot +P at least once.

    Good luck finding some .380. I talked to someone the other day who had to buy a $63 box of 50 just to take their conceal class. Not sure what type of ammo you're looking for but here may be a start
    It's showing on 0-1 week wait and I hear Cabela's is fairly accurate with their backorder times. Congrats on the new gun

    I've had 380 on backorder from Cabela's since early May. They've already emailed once to revise the backorder date, which is now expected to be July 18th.

    I stand corrected. Sorry 1_click_off; Charlie says you're screwed
