Product Description
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AS PRE-ORDER ONLY, with an expected shipping date of no later than January 3rd, 2025.
The TCX38080 is an 80 grain, .380 auto caliber Solid Copper Defensive round with a muzzle velocity of 1,100 feet per second and 215 ft/lbs of muzzle energy, as tested in a standard Ruger LCP, 2.75 inch barrel.
DEFIANT MUNITIONS uses only the highest quality primers, powder, brass casings and projectiles in all of our Premium Defensive ammunition.
TCX (Total Copper X-panding) ammunition incorporates a 100% solid copper projectile, with both interior and exterior serrations to ensure maximum expansion. There is no bi-metallic bonding to separate or otherwise fail, as can occur with JHP (Jacketed HollowPoint) projectiles. The result is consistent penetration that meets or exceeds FBI standards, and expansion that reliably outperforms typical JHP (Jacketed HollowPoint) projectiles.
All of our defensive auto pistol brass (except our subsonic line) is case cannelured in house to prevent bullet setback.
Why is this important? Bullet setback can occur with a pistol malfunction, or from chambering the same round over and over again. This can lead to possible CATASTROPHIC failure. The cannelure line puts a “crimp line” where the base of the bullet ends up. So if bullet setback were to occur, the bullet will NOT push past the cannelure line. It’s a time consuming process, therefore, VERY few ammunition companies cannelure their brass. Here at Defiant Munitions we want our customers to have nothing but the BEST, most reliable round possible. Extra steps will always be taken here to ensure the safety and quality of our products.
At DEFIANT MUNITIONS, we don’t simply test each new product upon release. We test every lot of ammunition for muzzle velocity, muzzle energy, penetration depth, expansion rate and weight retention to the highest standards. We go the extra mile to ensure maximum performance and consistency.
Additionally, every round is inspected and chamber checked by hand before packaging.
We build these to our exacting standards to ensure you have only the most consistent and reliable defensive ammo available.

380 Defiant munitions
I test ammo in clear ballistics gel. These went 14.5" and 14" in gel with the FBI the FBI thick clothing barrier, and 13" in bare gel.. 1117, 1110, and 1119 fps from the G42. All expanded to 0.49". I call that about as good as it gets in a 380. Very consistent. Also accurate at 15 yds.

Makes 9mm obsolete haha
These things are moving and I have to say it doesn't feel like they are in the pistol. I have a Sig P238 and I have always carried PDX1s in it and thought they were okay. I was able to shoot some today and also Chronograph both the PDX1s had an average of 923 and these Defiant Munitions TCX 80gr 380s had a crazy (in a good way) 1151 average. I will be ordering more of these and will be the new standard in my 380 carry ammo and anyone else I can tell about them as well. Keep up the good work Defiant!

Top Tier Defensive Ammo!
I bought this to feed my 4" Tisas Fatih (.380ACP), which is a Turkish made clone on officially licensed tooling of the Beretta 84. ...My pistol is oddly very ammo sensitive, & out of 9 different types of ammo, I've only found 3 that feed reliably. This 80gr TCX ammo from Defiant Munitions is top tier defensive ammo. It's loaded nice & HOT, & penetrates winter-thick clothing without any problem, with enough energy to go roughly ~17" into a 10% ballistic gel test block. I only bought 1 box of 50rds, due to my worry about my finicky pistol feeding the ammo well. & out of 38rds shot, I only 1 had a failure to fully-feed into the chamber; however, with a slight knock on the slide it went in easily. ...The only other ammo for my Fatih that 100% feeds are Barnes 80gr & Ammo Inc's 100gr. My pistol doesn't like ammo that lacks the edge of the casing being smoothed-out (i.e. a polished/rounded off casing head [where the bullet protrudes out from]). Overall, this ammo is replacing my Barnes defensive loads, & if you have a less-picky .380 handgun than me, this Defiant Munitions TCX ammo is absolutely the best defensive ammo I've come across - hands down, no questions asked.

.380 80 gr TCX
Function in both a Glock G42 and Glock G28 was excellent. Accuracy at up to 25 yds was better than expected ! I will definitely buy more !!!!

380 TCX
I’m pumped to get a round worthy of making the .380 a concealed carry option. Every round that comes out of Defiant Munitions has been top quality. And if the safety of myself or my family were ever in danger at least I know I won’t have issues with substandard ammo.
