This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing two .38 Super self-defense ammunition types: Colt Defense (DoubleTap) 124gr JHP and Lehigh Defense 115gr Controlled Fracturing. The test, performed from a Colt Gold Cup National Match 1911, reveals significant differences in terminal performance. The Colt ammunition failed to expand, tumbling and exiting the gel block with no expansion, while the Lehigh ammunition fractured as designed, with its fragments and core achieving substantial penetration and spread.
This expert analysis from Garand Thumb delves into the lethality of .300 Blackout, comparing supersonic and subsonic rounds through rigorous ballistic gel and 'meat target' testing. The video highlights the caliber's versatility for military and law enforcement, emphasizing projectile selection for optimal performance in various scenarios. Instruction is provided by a recognized subject matter expert in tactical firearms.
This video provides an expert field test of Black Hills Ammunition's 130gr Dual Performance 6.5 Creedmoor rounds, featuring a Lehigh Defense monolithic copper bullet. Kevin Jarnagin of Gun Talk Media demonstrates its effectiveness on deer at both 100 and 300 yards, highlighting its dual performance characteristics: petal separation for wide wound channels and a deep-penetrating shank. The analysis includes ballistic gel testing and real-world hunting results, concluding it's a reliable hunting round.
This video showcases the Lehigh Defense 300 Blackout Control Chaos V3 ammunition. The presenter highlights design modifications aimed at improving accuracy while retaining excellent ballistics. Testing involves ballistic gel and paper targets to collect performance data.
This video explores the physics and performance of fluted projectiles, often referred to as External Hollow Points (EHPs), comparing them to traditional hollow points. The presenter details the Venturi effect and hydraulic jump principles theorized to explain their performance without relying on expansion. Personal ballistic gel testing, following FBI barrier test protocols, is presented to demonstrate their consistency through barriers and potential for increased tissue damage.
Ted from Line45 reviews Lehigh Defense's Controlled Fracturing (CF) ammunition, highlighting its unique design where the bullet splits into multiple 'petals' upon impact while the core continues to penetrate. This creates multiple wound channels, offering enhanced tissue disruption without sacrificing terminal ballistics. The ammunition is CNC machined from solid copper, lead-free, and demonstrates consistent performance across various calibers in gel tests.
This video conducts a clear ballistics gel test of various 30 Super Carry ammunition types, comparing performance from both a Smith & Wesson Shield Plus handgun and a Hi-Point 3095 carbine. The test highlights significant velocity differences between the handgun and carbine, leading to varied projectile performance, particularly in terms of expansion and fragmentation when exceeding designed velocities. Monolithic copper bullets demonstrated consistent penetration without expansion, while jacketed hollow points showed extreme fragmentation at higher carbine velocities.
This YouTube video, titled 'Finding beauty in the little things,' highlights two prominent firearm manufacturers, Lehigh Defense and Wilson Combat. The description emphasizes a focus on copper and lead-free ammunition options. While the video's primary theme is finding aesthetic appreciation in seemingly small details, the mention of these specific brands and ammunition types strongly suggests a firearms-related context, likely showcasing or discussing these components in a visually appealing manner.
This video demonstrates the practical application of the Smith & Wesson Model 340 PD, a lightweight J-Frame revolver, often referred to as a 'pocket rocket'. The demonstration highlights the use of specialized ammunition like Lehigh Defense or Underwood Xtreme Defender, and showcases expert recoil management and muzzle discipline when firing powerful .357 Magnum rounds from a sub-12-ounce firearm. The footage emphasizes the significant muzzle flash and recoil associated with this compact powerhouse.
This video appears to be a preparation or setup for loading firearms, indicated by the title "Primed and ready to load!!". The inclusion of manufacturer hashtags like #wilsoncombat and #lehighdefense suggests a focus on specific, likely high-quality, firearm components or ammunition. The mention of #brass points towards reloading or preparation of ammunition, implying a hands-on approach to firearm ownership.
This video, titled 'Round and round we go,' features content related to firearms, specifically mentioning Wilson Combat and Lehigh Defense. The hashtags suggest a focus on ammunition cycling, brass, and copper, implying potential content around shooting, reloading, or firearm function demonstrations. The visual and audio elements would determine the exact nature of the content, but it's likely a demonstration or discussion involving firearms and ammunition.
This guide, drawing on the expertise of a seasoned firearms instructor, debunks common myths surrounding handgun calibers and self-defense. It emphasizes that shot placement and terminal ballistics are more critical than the often-misunderstood concept of 'stopping power.' The content covers the FBI's penetration standards, compares different bullet types like JHP and FTM, and discusses the effectiveness of various calibers from .22 LR to 10mm, ultimately highlighting 9mm as a balanced choice for most self-defense scenarios.
