The ammo you reviewed is good premium ammo which should always be carried for self defense. However in my research in gel test the prime top round for expansion and penetration is the federal premium 90g hydra shock, it's also bonded keeps its weight and doesn't fragment. Just a thought keep up the good work.

I run BB rounds in my .380 as well for SD rounds.
Hard cast flat nose for my Browning 1911 .380.

I wish expansion was covered in the article.

I use the American Gunner in my Lcp's, believing that the xtp bullet has proven good expansion in short barrels.
