Cabelas has Speer Gold Dot and CorBon DPX in stock. You could place an order for store pickup and get it when you drive by on the 20th.
I have 4 boxes (20 rds each) of Corbon JHP - 90gr 1050 fps - that I'd be willing to sell at cost. (More than the Gold Dot and less than the DPX at Cabelas).
Please pardon me for butting in, but I feel that this is important to say. I would highly recommend that you buy more than a few rounds. I know it is expensive and hard to find, but it is a really good idea to make sure what you keep in the gun functions well in that particular gun. It's not like a revolver that will shoot anything. I would not rely on anything unless I have shot at least a few magazines of it to make sure my gun likes it.
One other thing: if you read much about ballistics, the biggest problem with the .380 may very well be lack of adequate penetration. If you use a "defensive" load that consists if a hollow point or other expanding bullet, but is not a +P or at least significantly hotter than your practice ammo, you may actually be better off with your practice ammo for defense. I carry Buffalo Bore hard cast bullets with a few gold dots, all ++P. If you read his website I think he makes a lot of sense.
Again, I apologize for the interruption, but I would hate to see anyone buy a few "self-defense" loads and find out at a crucial moment that they don't feed well in his gun.
...I also understand about the theory of "lack of penetration" but as I am very new to handguns, I feel comfortable with the .380. As I get more experience and more comfortable handling handguns, I may consider "upsizing" later on.
Thanks again. Have a great day!

That is another story but especially give the (slightly larger) size of the Bersa over a lot of other 380, there are a few choices in 9mm that should work for you, like the Kel Tec PF9. A lot of people aren't big fans of the Kel Tecs, but after break-in, I have has zero problems with mine, and I do run a couple mags through it every time we go to the range to shoot other stuff.
We have a few boxes of Gold Dots in .380 and some FMJ's as well. We can ship also. PM me if you are interested.
Let me see what I can come up with in my area first before having some shipped from MS. Thanks for the offer!
I have some buffalo bore I'm looking to get rid of. I'm not sure how many rounds I have, it's between 50-60. I'll be home around lunch and can give you the number of rounds and a price. I'll be in Lafayette this weekend.
I will keep that in mind. Thanks

It's worth a PM to Richie's. They have good prices and are very reliable. I'm certain that their Gold-Dot, even shipped, would be less less expensive than what I have on hand since I paid tax and shippping.
I got my .380 ammo last year when it was in REALLY short supply.
Thanks for the kind words.
