Just picked up a box of Hornady 380 critical defense 90gr FTX. What's everybody else feeding their LCP? I figure I need what I can with that cal. Thanks in advance.
I carry Hornady CD as well. I picked up so FreedomMunitions XTP remanufatures thinking they would be good at the range since they are almost the same bullet. But, I have been having lots of feeding problems with the XTPs. Thinking I will send it in to Ruger to check as it sounds like most people are not having feed problems with hollow points.

Gave each of my daughters a LCP for Christmas a year ago (2014). Each got a box of Barnes TAC-XPD ammo as well. I use that ammo in my 9mm, .40 S&W and .45.
For carry I like Hornady American Gunner 90 gr XTP for the LCP and American Gunner 124 gr +P XTP for my 9mm Nano. They are both very reliable and I have seen good ballistics tests on these rounds.
Hard to beat the Speer Gold Dot. I believe 90 grains. Have carried that in my first gen LCP since day one after having tested it out for any feeding issues.
