This review tests Sellier & Bellot 230 Grain .45 ACP JHP ammunition in ballistic gel. The test reveals consistently low velocities from both a 3.8-inch barrel Glock 30 Gen 4 and a 5-inch barrel Rock Island 1911, averaging 842 fps and 850 fps respectively. Crucially, the ammunition failed to expand in ballistic gel, resulting in excessive penetration and a 'double fail' performance.

This review of the Smith & Wesson Governor revolver highlights its lightweight scandium alloy construction, making its 29.6 oz weight surprisingly manageable for its size. The firearm's versatility is a key focus, as it can chamber .45 Colt, .45 ACP, and 2.5-inch .410 shotshells, making it suitable for various roles including home defense, concealed carry, and as a backup in bear country. The reviewer notes its excellent balance, impressive trigger, and effective ejector rod, while also discussing grip options and comparing it favorably to the Taurus Judge.
