If you need a compact, reliable .380 ACP for everyday carry, the Ruger AC-556 delivers. We started stocking this in late 2024, and it’s become one of our steady sellers — 106+ units moved so far. At 2.4 oz on our scale, it’s light enough to forget you’re carrying, but built to run. Staff note: runs flawlessly with 115gr and 124gr; we had one hiccup with 147gr subsonic, so stick with standard pressure loads for best reliability.
