- 90 grain jacketed hollow point bullet optimized for .380 ACP platforms
- Muzzle velocity of 1,050 fps delivers impressive energy from a compact cartridge
- Internal and external serrations promote controlled, uniform expansion on impact
- Soft lead cavity initiates rapid mushrooming even through light barriers
- Average penetration of 9–15 inches in FBI-protocol ballistic gelatin testing
- Boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases with consistent, reliable ignition
Who This Is For
This ammunition is purpose-built for concealed carry practitioners and self-defense shooters who rely on a .380 ACP pistol as their primary or backup carry gun. If you own a Ruger LCP, Glock 42, Sig Sauer P238, or any other pocket pistol chambered in .380 Auto, CorBon JHP delivers the terminal performance you need when it matters most — making it an excellent choice for everyday carry, home defense, and range qualification with your defensive load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this ammunition cycle reliably in short-barreled .380 pocket pistols?
Yes. CorBon loads their JHP ammunition to higher pressure and velocity thresholds than standard FMJ range ammo, which actually aids reliable cycling in short-recoil, blowback, and locked-breech .380 pistols with compact barrels. That said, it's always good practice to run a box of any defensive load through your specific firearm to confirm reliable feeding, extraction, and ejection before trusting it for carry.
How does CorBon JHP expansion compare to standard hollow point loads?
CorBon's JHP design features both internal and external serrations on the bullet jacket combined with a soft lead core and wide hollow cavity. This combination promotes faster, more reliable expansion than standard or budget hollow points — particularly at the 1,050 fps muzzle velocity this load achieves. The result is a larger wound channel and energy transfer while still achieving the FBI-recommended 9–15 inch penetration depth in ballistic gelatin.
How should I store unused CorBon JHP ammunition?
Store your CorBon ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Keep rounds in the original box or an airtight ammo can. Properly stored, modern centerfire pistol ammunition can remain reliable for 10 years or more. Avoid storing loose rounds where they may be exposed to solvents, oils, or cleaning chemicals that could degrade the primer or propellant over time.
