I bought a box of the remington fmj ammo from walmart for $15.I would like to find something in a hollow point for carry but gander mt. is my only local sorce and man are they expensive.
What ammo are you using?
I am currently using Blazer Brass 95 gr FMJ for practice ammo. I've had no problems whatsoever with the LCP or the ammo. For SD ammo I am using Hornady 90 gr hollow point, although I am not yet persuaded that hollow point has any advantages over ball in 38 cal. I'd like to hear other thoughts of these choices.

I probably shoot 10 to 1 practice vs carry ammo so I'm not as price sensitive about my carry ammo.matt said:I bought a box of the remington fmj ammo from walmart for $15.I would like to find something in a hollow point for carry but gander mt. is my only local sorce and man are they expensive.
I have been using the WWB, haven't had any problems
I use Remington 95gr FMJ from Wally World ($15/50 box) for practice and Remington Golden Sabers 102gr HP for carry.
Buffalo Bore JHC for carry, light reloads (mine) for practice - easy on me, easy on the gun.

I use Remington Golden Saber for carry, Magtech FMJ for practice.

Magtech FMJ 95gr - Not a single problem after 75 rounds...
Am about to try a couple of Rem Golden Saber 102 HPs and will keep those for SD

I've been using a combo of Remington 95gr FMJ and Speer Gold Dot 90GR HP, 1 FMJ, 1 HP, 1 FMJ, ect. I think this winter I'll go with FMJ only, better penetration through heavy coats......

I have been using Rem. gold sabre for my carry ammo and wwb for just playing around. Winchesters hp also works pretty well. I found that any ammo with a rounded end on the bullet seems to work pretty well.... back before I got my barrell fix by Ruger, rounds with sharp edges like the hydra-shocks caused me problems. Now that I know what works everytime I am going to just stick with that.
Hello all, new to the board. I have been carrying Corbon DPX, and practicing with magtech FMJ.
Keep those pics coming AZ - they are worth a thousand words. 
I've been using the following in all my .380s including the LCP with good results:

Remington Golden Saber

Curious, do you think (or anybody) that the flat nose cheap winchesters, or the standard ball-style would be more effective in winter? (Or at all?)Ooben said:I've been using a combo of Remington 95gr FMJ and Speer Gold Dot 90GR HP, 1 FMJ, 1 HP, 1 FMJ, ect.
