Sierra Sports Master .380 Auto ammunition (part no. A8100–24) loads a 90-grain jacketed hollow point bullet at 990 fps, a self-defense round built for the compact pocket pistols chambered in .380 Auto. Sierra loads this round for shooters who carry a small-frame .380 and want an expanding bullet rather than a repurposed FMJ target load. In handgun ammunition, this is the box for the pocket gun that needs a real defensive load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is JHP ammunition necessary for a .380 carry gun? Many shooters prefer a hollow point over FMJ for carry use because it’s designed to expand, though bullet selection is a personal decision best discussed with a qualified instructor.

Should I test this ammunition in my pistol before carrying it? Yes — confirming reliable feeding and function with your actual carry ammunition is standard practice before relying on any defensive load, especially in compact .380 pistols.
