Armscor could have chosen to load this .380 Auto self-defense ammunition with any jacketed hollow point on the market. Why, then, did they load it with the XTP by Hornady?
One word: *reliability*. From feeding to terminal expansion, the XTP does precisely what a JHP must in order to be trusted with your life.
The XTP’s jacket is extraordinary. It is drawn – not plated – which is why it is able to progressively thicken from its base to its rim. The XTP’s jacketed rim helps it glide into the chamber without catching on the ramp. It is also thin and serrated: both features that facilitate wider expansion following any impact velocity.
The XTP’s jacketed rim also helps its nose avoid deformation during feeding. That preserves its sleek form, which complements accuracy alongside the XTP’s balanced swaged lead core.
Armscor USA ammunition hails from Montana, which is nicknamed “The Treasure State.” Judging by the quality of new, brass-cased, reloadable ammo that originates there, the nickname is well deserved.

2 Out of Ten.. FTF!
I bought, well more boxes than I should have I suppose. The price was right, so I took a chance.It didn't pay off in this instance. Average out of my DB380 was 2 rounds out of ten failed to fire. My Spectrum wouldn't cycle them at all hardly.I wouldn't recommend this for a defence round, unless your willing to bet your life on 2 out of ten!

Two out of Ten FTF, OK for practice ammo, but DON'T bet your life on it.
I bought over a 12 plus boxes of this, after a test box fired well out of my DB380. However, on the second and third box I was getting 2 out of ten failures to fire. The ammo wont feed through my Taurus Spectrum, it simply hates this ammo.The price was right at purchase. So it was worth the chance, even if it ended up being target ammo.What's not worth the chance is two out of ten when it's a life and death situation.

Failures
I had failures to feed with this ammo that I have never had before with my gun. It may be cheap, but if you are using this for self defense, cheap should not be your highest priority. I suggest getting some that are better quality. Pros: cheap Cons: failures to feed

Is this sub-sonic ammo?
Answer:
While it's not specifically listed as sub-sonic ammo, 993 fps is well below the speed of sound.
