This video emphasizes that penetration is the single most critical factor for handgun ammunition effectiveness in self-defense, advocating for a 12-18 inch penetration depth in ballistic gelatin as established by the FBI. It debunks outdated concepts like 'stopping power' and 'knockdown power,' stressing that consistent penetration to vital organs is paramount. The speaker also warns against fragmenting ammunition, highlighting its tendency to shed weight and reduce penetration, and advises choosing loads optimized for specific carry guns.

This video details a ballistic gel test of CorBon DPX 9mm +P 115-grain ammunition, evaluating its performance from two different barrel lengths: a 3.1-inch barrel (MC9) and a 4.5-inch barrel (Glock 17). The test measures velocity, penetration, and expansion, demonstrating consistent and effective performance across both platforms.

This video details a comprehensive ballistic test of CorBon DPX .40 S&W ammunition, featuring a 140-grain solid copper expander projectile. The test utilizes a heavy clothing barrier and ballistic gel, with velocities measured from both a Glock 27 (3.5-inch barrel) and a Glock 22 (4.5-inch barrel). The results demonstrate significant expansion and consistent penetration, highlighting the ammunition's effectiveness for self-defense.

This guide details how to compare the ballistic performance of 9mm and .357 Magnum calibers, specifically in snub-nose firearms, based on expert analysis. It emphasizes using empirical data from chronographs and considering 'hot' loads for accurate comparisons. The analysis highlights the .357 Magnum's superior energy and potential velocity advantage, while also addressing potential reliability issues like crimp jump in revolvers.

This guide details a ballistic gel testing procedure for 9mm carry ammunition, using a Glock 43 and following FBI heavy clothing protocols. The expert instructor demonstrates how different rounds perform, focusing on penetration depth and projectile expansion. The analysis provides valuable insights for selecting effective self-defense ammunition for concealed carry.

This video provides a comparative analysis of the top five lead-free self-defense ammunition options, establishing a performance baseline using two leaded 9mm rounds: Hornady Critical Defense and Buffalo Bore +P+. The instructor emphasizes terminal ballistics and energy transfer, ranking lead-free alternatives based on their ability to match or exceed the performance of traditional leaded ammunition in self-defense scenarios. The recommendations focus on rounds that offer reliable expansion or penetration without compromising firearm longevity or shooter control.
