This review tests CCI Blazer .45 ACP JHP ammunition through a 5-inch Rock Island 1911 and a 3.8-inch Glock G30, with a heavy clothing barrier. The ammunition exhibited poor performance, failing to expand in ballistic gel tests and showing significantly lower than advertised velocities. The reviewer concludes that this ammunition is loaded weak and offers poor value unless acquired at a substantially lower price than FMJ.

This review tests CCI Blazer JHP .40 S&W ammunition through ballistic gel and chronograph readings. The presenter expresses significant disappointment with the performance, particularly noting low velocities and inconsistent expansion, especially from shorter barrels. The conclusion is that this ammunition is not recommended for self-defense due to its perceived weak loading and unreliable performance.

This review tests CCI Blazer 9mm JHP ammunition through two different barrel lengths (3.1" and 4.5"). While the ammunition met advertised velocities from the longer barrel, its performance in ballistic gel was deemed poor, with significant over-penetration and lack of reliable expansion from the shorter barrel. The reviewer concludes that despite its price point, it does not offer good value or performance compared to other options.

This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing CCI Blazer 44 Special ammunition fired from two different barrel lengths: a 2-inch ported 'Boomer' revolver and a 16-inch 'Alaskan' rifle.
