    I have a Smith and Wesson Walther PPK/S and it seems to do okay with Remington .380 FMJ and Magtech .380 FMJ. It does NOT like American Eagle .380 FMJ.

    Any type of hollow point is ideal. There is really no need to spend 40 bucks for bullets, imo, the most important thing is to spend some money and try out several type of hollow points and see which ones run best in your gun and then thats the hollow point you need to use, and practice occassionally with.
    Reputation is what I strive for.

    At the moment its more what can you find in 380, not what you want because its so scarce. With that said I personally carry and shoot FMJ exclusively in 380acp because penetration is not where i'd like it with the HP rounds.

    Fiocchi had the hottest FMJ round I came across per my chrony, but like I said right now it's more of a what you can find type of thing.

    For SD with a .380 you want Buffalobore if the gun can take it. Check them out.

    As for carry ammo...price is the last thing you should worry about. You want function & effectiveness.

    What you plink or practice with is a different story. Use the cheap stuff.

    Whatever you can find seems to be the key these days.

    Try to find 95gr FMJ.
