Federal Premium Personal Defense Ammunition 380 ACP 99 Grain HST Jacketed Hollow Point 20RD

Federal Premium HST ammunition in 380 ACP brings serious defensive capability to compact and micro-frame pistols. The 99-grain hollow point load is purpose-built for concealed carry guns where stopping power and reliability matter most. HST earned its reputation as a law enforcement duty round through proven real-world performance—now available in a caliber that fits everyday carry needs without compromise.

The hollow point design won't plug or fail to expand, even through intermediate barriers. Federal engineered the jacket and core to stay together, retaining nearly all its weight through the target. That combination of reliable expansion and weight retention delivers the penetration depth needed for personal defense while controlling over-penetration—critical in any defensive scenario.

Reliability is built into every round. The nickel-plated case feeds smoothly through semi-automatic actions, and Federal's primer ensures consistent ignition. Each box contains 20 rounds, ready for practice or carry in your 380 ACP concealed carry pistol.
