I think we need to take a little snap out of that little gun's shot. So I vote to think smaller than 90-95-100.
To example where my mind-frame is, I recently purchased the Ruger ARX 80 grain cartridge for my 9MM PT111 G2. Not looking to have it shoot like my wife's 22LR pistol, but certainly more controllable than any 115-124gr cartridge.
Lets put Mr. Limp Wrist in a permanent lock-up forever.....lol :lol:
I too am using the ARX bullets in the .380. That bullet is 56 gr. and the velocity is rated at over 1300 fps, although in the little LCP I would guess that it is more like 1150 or so.
I tested it on some milk jugs filled with water against the standard 95 grain FMJ. The results were outstandingly in favor of the ARX design.
I think this concept is a very useful development, especially for PD guns in calibers that might be considered marginal, IE the .380, the .38 Sp. and the .32 Mg.
Right not it is only available in the .380, the 9MM. the 40 S&W and the .45ACP. The last 2 or 3 of which really don't need much/any help to be effective. 8)
