Right now my EDC is loaded with Hornady Critical Defense...in caliber .45 ACP The 185 grain FTX Bullet screams out of the barrel @ approx. 1000 FPS and has the following specs: Unaffected by thick and heavy clothing, including denim and leather. FTX bullet delivers superior controlled expansion and large, deep wound cavities over a wide range of velocities. Clean burning and stable propellants reduce recoil in lightweight handguns, and perform consistently in all temperatures. Minimal muzzle flash protects night vision. Feeds reliably in pistols. Shiny silver nickel plating prevents corrosion, and is easily visible in low light situations. Bullets are cannelured and crimped to avoid bullet setback. Bullets are custom designed for individual loads. They also make this load for .380 ACP ( which I see is your preference ): http://www.hornady.com/store/380-Auto-90-gr-Critical-Defense/
