This video details an in-depth accuracy and ammunition testing session for a custom Sig Sauer P365 build featuring an ECM R11 grip module and a Norsso ported slide and barrel. The presenter evaluates multiple 9mm ammunition types at 25 yards to determine optimal performance, noting that Speer Gold Dot 124gr hollow points yielded the tightest groups. The build's ergonomics, recoil mitigation from the ports, and overall shooting experience are also discussed.

This video discusses the performance differences between .38 Special, .32 H&R Magnum, and .327 Federal Magnum calibers. The speaker asserts that .327 Federal Magnum and .32 H&R Magnum generally outperform .38 Special, offering more rounds and superior ballistic capabilities in comparable firearms. The discussion also touches on carry considerations and the relative effectiveness of different handgun calibers.

This video demonstrates the performance of Pilgrim Ammunition through ballistic gel tests and recoil comparison against Hornady Critical Defense. The tests highlight Pilgrim's high velocity (2000 ft/s), light 50-grain weight, and unique 'exploding' expansion pattern resulting in zero over-penetration. It also showcases significantly reduced recoil and improved control during rapid fire drills, making it a top choice for daily carry.

This video highlights Pilgrim Ammunition as the preferred carry ammo at Shark Coast Tactical, with all employees and the owner carrying it. The technical explanation focuses on its 50-grain weight and 2000 ft/s velocity, emphasizing its 'zero over penetration' characteristic. The ammunition is designed to penetrate barriers like car doors and 2x4s but then fragment in a unique pattern upon hitting fluid, minimizing risk to bystanders.

This video details a comprehensive accuracy testing process for a custom Sig Sauer P365 build, focusing on selecting the optimal carry ammunition.
