Some people are proponents of using ball (fmj) ammo for carry in .380's, to insures adequate penetration. If I were considering fmj I would use Lehigh extreme penetrator instead because it produces a more damaging wound track.

Personally, I choose Hornady Critical Defense for my Bodyguard .380.

I use the Critical Defense in my Sig P238 also and I did test shooting into water jugs thru 4 layers of heavy weight denim and they open completely in all 6 of the ones I shot ..

Some of the ballistic test on YouTube I have seen on the Underwood ammo had massive over penetration .. it might be a good woods ammo in 9mm or larger caliber but I didn't feel I could use it safely for defensive carry use from the tests I watched !!
