If you recently purchased an Ruger LCP, good choice!
But now you must wade through the ammo choice quagmire!
You will read many reviews claiming that 380 JHP ammo underpenetrates, and it does.
What they don't tell you is the reason that police and civilians shoot JHP's!
Becuase FMJ (Hardball) overpenetrates as a rule.
So for your LCP, use FMJ (hardball).
And you won't need +p ammo.
Best penetration you will get, and you'll save a lot of money on ammo.
And that means that you can afford to do more shooting, and you will become very competent with your pistol.
Remember, it's that rounds that hit, not the rounds you fire, that will probably determine whether or not you will be coming home tonight.
Be safe out there!
