This video reviews DRT Frangible 9mm ammunition, highlighting its concept of breaking apart on impact to minimize over-penetration, a key concern for home defense. Testing revealed mixed reliability, with a Walther T99 cycling without issue, but a shorter-barreled PBS experiencing failures to eject. Ballistic testing demonstrated the round's frangibility against a steel block and mock interior wall, though a small core fragment did penetrate. However, against an exterior wall simulation, the round passed through with minimal energy loss and did not appear to fragment. The conclusion suggests the round is not ideal for short-barreled handguns with heavy recoil springs but can reduce over-penetration if it strikes flesh first.
