Links to .380 Ammo Tests
01/07/08 at 14:27:40

We keep getting into discussions on which ammo is best for the P3-AT. I have compiled a pretty extensive list of links to tests that been done with .380 ACP ammo, many of which use a P3-AT. I have posted this list a few times before on this forum. I keep updating the list as I discover new tests and have added a bunch recently.

These tests are listed as I find them, so they (sort of) fall in cronological order by when they were performed, the newest ones being last.

Maybe this should be made a sticky, and I'll just update it as I find new tests, rather than submitting the post over and over again, and others can add links also. Just a suggestion...

Nice job, Bobo!! I found the link to this on the mouseguns site. One of your links needed updating due to a glitch in the original post. So here is the new link....
http://usrange.org/smf/index.php?topic=2490.0
This link is the Bersa v.s. P3AT shootout I did last year and is mainly a comparison of DPX with Rem GoldenSabr.
Everyone should note that you no longer have to register to read the Ballistics at USRange. Just keep in mind that our wetpack tests there are for information and are not 'certified', 'FBI approved', or such.
Cheers,
og

For those in a hurry, here's the bottom line: Tested Buffalo Bore Gold Dot and Hard Cast - the two highest energy cartriges available in 380. The Gold Dot penetrated much more than the Hard Cast, and mushroomed uniformly to an impressive .585 inches.

Three older, but probably still relevent tests that could be added to the sticky:

I have four more .380 tests to add to the sticky when you get a chance. The last one, for the LCP also applies to P-3AT's.
