This guide details a ballistic gel test comparing the 10mm Auto and .357 Magnum calibers, as demonstrated by Kentucky Ballistics. Both calibers, using specific JHP ammunition, were tested for penetration in 16-inch Clear Ballistics gel blocks. The results showed full penetration for both, leaving the caliber debate unsettled. The video emphasizes practical comparison using specialized testing equipment.

This video features SPN Firearms testing the Ruger RXM Subcompact pistol with various JHP ammunition. The reviewer notes the pistol's capacity, shooting characteristics, and the use of a Magpul magazine and Cylee optic. The video also highlights Shell Shock ear and eye protection.

This video provides an expert-level ballistic gel test of Winchester Defense 10mm AUTO 180 Grain JHP ammunition, conducted by an experienced reviewer. The test compares performance from a Glock 20 (4.6" barrel) and a Glock 40 (6" barrel), detailing chronograph readings, penetration depths, and projectile condition after impact. The reviewer concludes that this specific Winchester Defense load is underperforming compared to expectations for 10mm and even some .40 S&W loads.

This video details the break-in experience of a Kahr CT380, noting that after approximately 250-300 rounds, the firearm began running flawlessly. The speaker highlights the excellent performance of the springs, leading to minimal recoil, and praises the trigger quality. Potential slide stop issues are attributed to shooter error, particularly before the break-in period is complete. The video also briefly mentions Sig P365 JHP ammunition.

This video from Guns Blazing Ranch provides a clear, demonstrative comparison of three .45 ACP ammunition types: FMJ, JHP, and Monolithic rounds. Through ballistic testing against water bottles, the video visually illustrates the distinct terminal performance characteristics of each, highlighting how JHP and Monolithic rounds offer superior expansion and energy transfer compared to FMJ. The demonstration uses a Ruger SR1911 pistol.

This analysis from Active Self Protection, led by John Correia, breaks down a road rage incident in Nassau, New York, where shots were fired but no charges were filed. It emphasizes conflict avoidance, the utility of transitional tools like OC spray, and the importance of appropriate ammunition (JHP) for lethal force encounters. Correia also outlines critical post-incident procedures using the TAP-IFF acronym, highlighting the need for a legal defense plan.

This video reviews Grizzly Ammunition's .357 Sig 90-grain JHP Vaporizer rounds through ballistic gel tests. The instructor, an experienced firearms enthusiast, found the ammunition achieved high velocities but exhibited significant fragmentation and inconsistent penetration, particularly from shorter barrels. While effective at dumping energy, the lack of deep penetration was a concern for defensive use.

This expert-level review details a ballistic gel test of Grizzly's 185-grain +P .45 ACP JHP ammunition. The test, conducted by an experienced firearms instructor, utilized a Glock G30 (3.8-inch barrel) and a Rock Island Armory 1911 (5-inch barrel) to measure velocity, penetration, and expansion. The results highlight the ammunition's hot performance and significant energy transfer, rivaling 10mm ballistics in some aspects, while also noting potential limitations in deep penetration.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Fiocchi Defense Dynamics 200-grain .45 ACP JHP ammunition. The instructor found the velocities to be significantly lower than advertised, leading to a complete failure of expansion in ballistic gel from both a 5-inch 1911 and a 3.8-inch Glock 30. The ammunition exhibited excessive penetration due to the lack of expansion, making it a poor choice for self-defense.

This review tests CCI Blazer JHP .40 S&W ammunition through ballistic gel and chronograph readings. The presenter expresses significant disappointment with the performance, particularly noting low velocities and inconsistent expansion, especially from shorter barrels. The conclusion is that this ammunition is not recommended for self-defense due to its perceived weak loading and unreliable performance.

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.

This review tests Remington UMC .380 ACP 88-grain JHP ammunition using ballistic gel and chronographs. The testing reveals disappointing performance, with no significant expansion observed and penetration reaching approximately 20.5 to 20.75 inches across two gel blocks. Velocities were recorded between 929 ft/s from a S&W Bodyguard 2.0 and 1002 ft/s from a S&W EZ, but this did not translate to effective terminal ballistics.
