Also look into Corbon DPX. I did a lot of research into .380 defense ammo, and found good info on Corbon DPX, both in penetration and bullet expansion. Personally, I don't agree with a lot of the opinions that the .380 isn't good for SD. Of course, a larger caliber will have greater "stopping" power, but if you can put a .380 where it needs to go, I sure wouldn't want to get shot with it! It's all about shot placement, no matter what caliber you use. With that, I have confidence in carrying a .380 loaded with DPX, or other proven ammo.
