Thanks guys I'll have to try some. Right now it's loaded with the federal fmj but I understand they can over penetrate...At least from some you tube vids of gel penetrating shooting. Hornady XTP "seems" to be the best for expansion and penetration from the vids I have seen.
There’s a lot of people that advocate FMJ only for .380 pistols as you get the proper penetration but no expansion. The Hornady seems to have BOTH decent penetration AND expansion and the bullet shape plus polymer tip feeds well in the Kahr where other JHP’s will get hung up.
