A very straightforward and standard round from Fiocchi, aimed at delivering for a wide range of firearms in the booming .380 ACP market the “new hot gun” in the concealed carry market. The absolute truth of the matter is that .380 ACP is a finicky platform. Some guns just don’t like some ammunition in this caliber. Generally, the Fiocchi 95 grain FMJ works well in them all.
The break in period is important for .380’s and that’s a good place for this Fiocchi load which delivers 195 ft. lbs. of energy and 960 feet per second of velocity at the muzzle. It is squarely in the position of range ammunition to break in the .380, and get practice on targets. The price is incredible given the alternatives from other makers. As an import, this is about as good as it gets. The consistency, history and reliability of Fiocchi and this specific load are very good.
This round feeds exceptionally well in most .380 ACP firearms and the slightly heavier bullet takes some of the snap out of the shooting experience, giving shooter new to the .380 platform a good basis for shooting the cartridge.

I’ve shot several boxes of this through my Sig P-238. For target shooting it’s just fine. Maybe a little dirty. One double feed. No other problems to speak of. I’d buy it again.

I ordered 250 rounds of this ammo. I only shot 30 rounds. Of that 30 rounds I had 6 failure to feeds and the last round I fired was a complete case separation. It didn’t damage the gun but I got a face full of burnt powder and gas, not fun. Fiocchi made it right by taking the ammo back and refunding my purchase price but I do not trust this ammo. This is in no way a bad review of Bulk Ammo though. I’ve ordered a lot from them and will continue to do so, just not this particular brand.

I started shooting these when i bought my .380 carbine. They cheap and are consistent to 100yrd. Ive put roughly 1500 rounds threw my gun and only one jam.

I shot 100 rounds, I had 2 rounds that wouldn’t properly chamber.
I would not use this ammo for self defense, great for the Range.

Finally got to shoot my Glock 42 at my local shooting range. Only bought one of these boxes, but boy did I have fun. Going to be buying more!

The rounds came safely, and fit neatly in my safe.
