This YouTube video, the second part of a comparison series, analyzes the performance of two popular defensive handgun ammunition types: 124gr Federal HST in 9mm versus 165gr Speer Gold Dot in .40 S&W. The video revisits a previous test where the ammunition types were swapped between calibers, suggesting this segment focuses on the direct comparison of these specific loads against each other. It aims to provide insights for viewers making choices about defensive handgun rounds.
Federal 9mm +P 124gr HST ammunition demonstrates exceptional performance in ballistic gel tests, even from short-barreled pistols like the S&W Shield. It achieves reliable expansion and adequate penetration, exceeding FBI recommendations in heavy clothing tests while maintaining consistent performance. This makes it a highly recommended self-defense load for concealed carry.
