Fiocchi Defense Dynamics 380 Auto 90gr XTP JHP

Fiocchi Defense Dynamics 380 Auto 90gr uses Hornady's XTP (Extreme Terminal Performance) bullet, the same projectile that appears in Hornady's own defensive lines. The XTP is a proven hollow point design with a controlled expansion profile that delivers consistent mushrooming through tissue. At 950 fps, the Fiocchi loading produces 10.8 inches of penetration and 0.540 inches of expansion through denim, performance that falls just below the FBI's 12 inch minimum but within the range typical for .380 ACP from standard barrels.

The primary advantage of the Fiocchi Defense Dynamics is price. At $0.40 to $0.60 per round, it is substantially cheaper than Federal Punch, Speer Gold Dot, or Hornady Critical Defense while using a name-brand projectile with a known performance profile. This makes it practical for budget-conscious shooters to function-test their carry pistol with 50 or 100 rounds of the same hollow point geometry.

Italian-manufactured by Fiocchi's Lecco plant, the brass cases are reloadable and consistently dimensioned. The propellant burns cleanly in the tight chambers of pocket .380 pistols. For shooters who need a reliable, affordable defensive hollow point and cannot justify premium pricing, Fiocchi XTP delivers the best value in the .380 ACP defensive category.
