Federal Personal Defense Punch Handgun Ammunition .380 Auto 85gr JHP 1000 fps 50/ct

Federal Personal Defense Punch .380 Auto ammunition delivers reliable defensive performance in a compact, controllable package. Built on Federal's proven foundation of defensive ammunition design, Punch rounds pair a precisely engineered 85-grain jacketed hollow point bullet with quality brass cases and sealed primers to ensure consistent feeding and reliable ignition across a variety of .380 pistols. At 1000 fps, this round balances terminal effectiveness with the recoil characteristics shooters expect from .380 Auto platforms—particularly relevant for smaller concealed-carry guns where shooter recovery matters.

The .380 Auto remains popular for backup guns, pocket pistols, and close-quarters defensive scenarios. Punch ammunition is engineered to perform across the barriers and distances most likely to matter in self-defense situations, whether you're carrying a classic Walther PPK, a modern pocket gun, or anything in between. Federal's careful bullet selection and quality control mean you get consistent performance from every shot, not just the first few rounds from a fresh box.

Each box contains 50 rounds of ammunition manufactured to Federal's defensive standards. This is serious ammunition for serious carry, backed by the ammunition maker that supplies law enforcement and military users worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

The round's balanced velocity and quality brass cases are engineered for consistent feeding across the variety of platforms that chamber .380 Auto—from compact pocket pistols to service-size handguns. If you're unsure whether your specific firearm will cycle this ammunition reliably, consult your gun's manual or contact the manufacturer.

Is this ammunition suitable for concealed carry?

Yes. Federal Personal Defense Punch is specifically engineered as a defensive round. The 85-grain hollow point bullet and 1000 fps velocity are designed for the terminal performance standards that matter in defensive scenarios. The 50-round box is sized for both defensive carry and range practice.

How does .380 Auto compare to larger defensive calibers?

The .380 Auto is popular for backup and pocket carry precisely because it offers a controllable, shootable platform in a compact gun. While it has less kinetic energy than 9mm or .40 S&W, the tradeoff is better shot placement and faster follow-up shots for most shooters in smaller frames. Punch ammunition optimizes .380's inherent performance characteristics.

What's included in the box?
