This video reviews DoubleTap's 10mm 155-grain copper expander ammunition through ballistic gel testing. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, found the ammunition to be underpowered for the 10mm caliber, despite good expansion and penetration. While deemed adequate for self-defense, it doesn't meet the 'hot-loaded' expectations for 10mm.

This expert-level review from Tools&Targets thoroughly tests Grizzly's 200 Grain 10mm JHP ammunition. The assessment includes detailed velocity measurements from Glock 20 and Glock 29 pistols, followed by ballistic gel testing to evaluate expansion and penetration. The ammunition demonstrated exceptional performance, exceeding advertised velocities and showing significant expansion and energy transfer, positioning it as a top-tier self-defense load.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of Barnes TAC-XPD .380 ACP ammunition fired from a Sig Sauer P238. The test evaluates expansion and penetration through layers of t-shirt and denim. The ammunition demonstrated reliable expansion but exhibited shallow penetration, a characteristic attributed to its lightweight 80-grain bullet weight and wide expansion diameter.

This review tests Hornady Critical Defense ammunition in two Walther pistols: a short-barreled PPS and a duty-length P99AS. The ammunition demonstrated reliable feeding and cycling in both firearms, with good grouping. A penetration test using FBI 10 blocks and an interior wall showed the round penetrated the first block and wall, stopping within the second block, suggesting it would likely stop within a human target and not over-penetrate into a subsequent room.
