For concealed carry shooters running micro-380 platforms, the Sig Sauer Elite Performance 380 ACP 90gr V-Crown JHP delivers a defensive hollow point built around a stacked cavity design that controls expansion while preserving bullet weight through barriers. The 380 ACP cartridge, introduced in 1908 by John Browning, remains a staple in pocket pistols and subcompact handguns where concealability trumps capacity. Sig Sauer engineers the V-Crown projectile with a cavity-over-cavity architecture—a primary hollow point stacked above a secondary channel—that initiates petal formation at the rim while the deeper trail stabilizes penetration depth.

Performance at a Glance

Each 90-grain Sig V-Crown bullet leaves the muzzle at 980 feet per second, generating 192 foot-pounds of energy at the bore. The jacketed hollow point uses a copper jacket over a lead core, with the stacked cavity machined to create a V-shaped expansion profile that FBI testing protocols measure between 0.50 and 0.60 inches through four-layer denim into 10% ballistic gelatin. Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion in humid carry environments and feed reliably in pistols with polished feed ramps. Boxer primers allow reloading, though most carriers treat defensive loads as single-use. Twenty rounds per box ship in a tray-style package that stacks efficiently in range bags.

Test your carry load with at least fifty rounds through your specific pistol—cycle function through magazines, feed from the chamber, and accuracy at seven yards matter more than advertised velocity. Compare across our full 380 ammo inventory to match your platform and budget.
