Manufacturer’s comparison trajectory Point of impact at 12.5 m: +0.2 cm Point of impact at 25 m: 0 cm Point of impact at 50 m: –6.2 cm Point of impact at 100 m: –43.2 cm Trajectory data is based on manufacturer’s test conditions. Actual point of impact depends on the firearm, sights, aiming method, and shooting distance. Package includes 50 × S&B 9 mm Browning Short / .380 Auto FMJ 6 g cartridges Manufacturer's retail packaging Frequently Asked Questions Are 9 mm Browning Short and .380 ACP the same caliber? Yes. 9 mm Browning Short, .380 ACP, .380 Auto, 9×17 mm, 9 mm Kurz, and 9 mm Browning Court are common names for the same cartridge. Is this cartridge suitable for a 9×19 caliber pistol? No. .380 ACP (9×17 mm) and 9×19 mm are cartridges with different dimensions and characteristics. They must not be interchanged, even though both are called 9 mm. Is this suitable for a 9 mm Browning Long caliber firearm? No. 9 mm Browning Short and 9 mm Browning Long are different cartridges. Only use ammunition in firearms marked for the corresponding caliber. What does FMJ mean? FMJ stands for Full Metal Jacket. The standard lead core is surrounded by a metal jacket, which ensures reliable feeding and reduces exposure of bare lead to the barrel. Does an FMJ bullet expand on impact? No. This is a non-expanding full metal jacket bullet, intended primarily for training, target shooting, and competition use. Is this a +P cartridge? No. The manufacturer designates V310332 as a standard pressure cartridge, not +P loaded. Always check firearm compatibility according to the manufacturer's instructions. Is the muzzle velocity 291 m/s in every pistol? No. The manufacturer’s result is measured with a 90 mm test barrel. In a very short-barreled compact pistol, the velocity may be lower; in a longer-barreled firearm, it may differ. Can this cartridge be used in an older pistol? This depends on the exact caliber and technical condition of the firearm. An older or unknown maintenance history firearm should be checked by a competent gunsmith before shooting. When is S&B 9 mm Browning Short FMJ the right choice? This cartridge is suitable for shooters using a .380 ACP (9 mm Browning Short) caliber pistol and needing classic full metal jacket ammunition for regular training. The 92 grain bullet is a common weight for this caliber and is well-suited for target shooting and reliability testing. If you use a compact pistol with a short barrel, check feeding, extraction, and point of impact. Perceived recoil, velocity, and accuracy may vary between firearms. Expert recommendation .380 ACP pistols vary significantly in dimensions, slide mass, recoil spring, and magazine design. I recommend trying the cartridge in your firearm before purchasing a larger quantity to ensure reliable feeding, ignition, extraction, and ejection. Do not choose ammunition solely based on the "9 mm" in the name. Check the full caliber marking on the barrel or slide, as 9×17 mm, 9×18 mm, and 9×19 mm cartridges are not interchangeable. Always use hearing and eye protection and shoot only at a proper shooting range. Classic .380 ACP full metal jacket cartridge for training S&B 9 mm Browning Short FMJ combines a 6 g full metal jacket bullet, 291 m/s muzzle velocity, and a 50-round package. It is a practical training and target shooting cartridge for compatible .380 Auto and 9×17 mm caliber pistols.
