The few articles I have read on .380 ammo for self-defense all recommend JHP in the 90gr. weight. Haven't seen any recommending the 102gr weight. Do you know anything about this particular ammo? Also, how many rounds in the box?

this was the first time i've seen 102gr also .
i thought it was strange , but as long as it wasn't ( +P ) i went ahead and got it .
the box has 25 rounds in it .
i was there several days ago and he had stacks and stacks of .380
in about 4 different brands .for example...50 Winchester target rounds ...$ 19.95 per box
you should call for availability ...stock changes regularly .

The 102 gr Golden Saber round is an excellent choice for SD in .380. I quit carrying a .380 when I got my Taurus ultralite .38 . I wouldn't have any problem with the GS round if I were to resume carry of the .380.

At $1.40 per round, how much of that ammo do you plan to shoot? This is the problem I've run into with my .380 - the ammo, even range ammo, is hard to find. Then when I do find it it cost so much that shooting up a couple of boxes on the range is "very" expensive. I realize this may just be a personal problem. I'm retired and living on fixed income.

probably just one box . and save the other box to use as my SD ammo.
i really want to make sure it works well .
the hard part will be when i squeeze of 7 rounds as fast as i can pull the trigger .
$ 1.40 x 7 rounds = $ 9.80 in 2 seconds ...
the joy of squeezing off 7 rounds in 2 seconds ...priceless
