This video provides an expert-level comparison of four Federal Premium HST 9mm ammunition variants: 124gr, 124gr +P, 147gr, and 150gr HST Micro. The host, an experienced gear reviewer, utilizes standardized ballistics gel and an FBI heavy clothing protocol with a Glock 43 to measure penetration and expansion. The 150gr HST Micro is recommended for sub-compact pistols due to its performance in short barrels.

This video features Johann Boden, a ballistics expert from Vista Outdoors, discussing critical aspects of handgun ammunition selection for self-defense. He emphasizes that while caliber differences are less significant with modern premium ammunition, the focus should be on incapacitation rather than just lethality. Boden highlights the effectiveness of hollow-point projectiles for maximizing wound channels and accelerating bleed-out, contrasting them with Full Metal Jacket rounds. He also stresses the importance of choosing ammunition specifically designed for short-barreled handguns to ensure proper projectile expansion and performance.
