This guide details the 'Baba Yaga Drill,' a precision and speed test for concealed carriers, as demonstrated by Kevin Creighton for NRA Publications. The drill emphasizes accuracy under pressure at 7 yards, requiring shooters to engage four 2-inch circles from concealment. It's recommended to perform this drill 'cold' to assess true performance and train efficient eye transitions, with a focus on mastering fundamental skills like the Dot Torture drill beforehand.

This video presents a chronograph test of Armscor .38 Special and .357 Magnum ammunition fired from a 6-inch barrel Rossi RM66 revolver. The presenter notes that advertised velocities for .357 Magnum, particularly with 158-grain bullets, are often for rifle-length barrels and not achievable from a handgun. The tested Armscor loads produced lower-than-expected velocities and recoil, feeling more like .38 Special. The presenter also shares past negative experiences with Armscor ammunition reliability.

This video reviews 15 different 9mm ammunition loads suitable for self-defense in 2025, detailing their bullet weights, performance characteristics, and intended applications. It highlights key features like expansion, penetration, and recoil management for each option, offering insights for choosing the right self-defense ammunition.

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 provides a detailed ballistic gel test and review of the new CCI Blazer 10mm JHP ammunition. The instructor, with apparent expertise in firearms and ballistics, evaluates the ammunition's performance across two different barrel lengths (Glock 20 and Glock 29). While the ammunition demonstrated good expansion and penetration, comparable to .40 S&W, it fell short of the expected 'hot' 10mm performance, leading to a mixed assessment.

Joel Park discusses defining effective practice ammunition, emphasizing cost and availability as primary factors. He advises against training with ammunition significantly softer than competition loads, as it can hinder adaptation to recoil. Conversely, training with hotter loads and then switching to milder competition ammo is acceptable. For rifle training, PMC and Winchester 55-grain FMJ are recommended for their value, while steel case like Wolf is noted for lower recoil compared to XM193.
