NovX Pentagon Self Defense .380 ACP 80gr Copper Hollow Point Ammo - 20 Rounds/Box

The NovX Pentagon self-defense .380 ACP round is engineered for shooters who demand reliable performance from a lightweight, low-recoil cartridge. Built around a monolithic copper hollow point design, each 80-grain projectile is optimized for controlled expansion on impact—expanding up to twice its original diameter while maintaining penetration. This lead-free construction makes the Pentagon an environmentally responsible choice without compromise on terminal ballistics, and it's specifically designed to function reliably in .380 ACP platforms.

What sets the Pentagon apart in the crowded .380 defensive ammo market is NovX's patented two-piece stainless steel case design paired with a lighter copper bullet. The result is higher velocity and greater impact energy than conventional loaded rounds, translating to faster sight picture recovery on follow-up shots and reduced muzzle flip—critical advantages in defensive scenarios where split-second accuracy matters. The hydrostatic shock generated by the Pentagon's expansion is engineered to stop threats quickly and decisively.

Each box contains 20 rounds, making it convenient for range sessions, training drills, or building a carry supply. If you're carrying .380 ACP for self-defense or looking for a modern, lead-free option that genuinely reduces felt recoil, the Pentagon delivers the ballistic performance and shooter control that separates premium defensive ammo from off-the-shelf alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is NovX Pentagon .380 ACP compatible with all .380 handguns?

The Pentagon is a standard .380 ACP round and should function in any firearm chambered for .380 ACP. However, as with all ammo, we recommend testing in your specific firearm before relying on it for self-defense.

What makes the two-piece stainless steel case different from conventional cases?

NovX's two-piece stainless steel case design, combined with the lighter monolithic copper bullet, produces higher velocities and greater impact energy than conventional ammunition. This contributes to improved recoil management and superior terminal performance.

Is this ammo lead-free, and why does that matter?

Yes, the Pentagon uses a monolithic copper projectile with no lead content, making it safe for indoor ranges, hunting areas with lead restrictions, and shooters concerned about environmental impact—without sacrificing performance.

What's included in a box?

Each box contains 20 rounds of loaded .380 ACP ammunition ready to shoot.
