Popular due to its compact size and adequate power, the .380 ACP was the primary pistol cartridge in the early 1900s for several prominent countries, including Fiocchi’s Italy. Most Europeans would know it by another name; 9mm Short. It was replaced for military use after World War II mostly by the 9mm Parabellum.
Still, .380 ACP is one of the best calibers for concealed-carry, and it’s a whole lot of fun to practice with at the range. Most .380 pistols have very light recoil, which makes reestablishing the sight picture quicker and easier for follow-up shots. Fiocchi Ammunition is made with high quality materials in Lecco, Italy and Ozark, Missouri. This ammunition is new brass-cased, boxer-primed and loaded with 95 grain full metal jacket projectiles.
American Ralph Waldo Emerson’s poem “Concord Hymn” is the origin of the phrase “shot heard around the world”, where he described the battle of Lexington & Concord that marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. The phrase is also used as a reference to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo, Bosnia. The caliber used in this cataclysmic event: the .380 ACP.
