[quote=GoodSamaritan;177504]I tried searching but the search feature doesn't seem to be working at the moment.

I am sorry if this has been covered before.

At any rate, I have settled on a new carry weapon in .380. (no caliber wars please)


I use either Corbon DPX or Magtech First Defense, in my Bersa .380.

From everything I have read they both seem to have good penetration and good expansion for a .380. They don't separate like some of the jacketed hollow points out there, and loose bullet weight.

I will be doing some actual tests on the Magtech within the next couple of weeks and if your interested will post some pictures of the bullets after shooting into a wet pack or bottled water.

Both rounds feed well in my Bersa. I am currently looking for a solid copper hollow point to reload, but haven't found any yet.

Thanks for the replys everyone.

I definately see some patterns forming here.

Farronwolf, welcome to the site. As for your testing, by all means, please post the pics. At the very least drop me a line and let me know how it turns out.

Thanks!
