This expert analysis debunks myths surrounding .45 ACP's 'deadliness' compared to 9mm. It emphasizes that effective handgun stopping power relies on penetration depth, bullet expansion, and crucial shot placement, rather than raw energy or caliber alone. Modern ammunition has significantly narrowed the performance gap, making shooter skill and preparation the primary determinants of effectiveness.

This expert analysis debunks common misconceptions about the .22 Short cartridge, revealing its historical significance as a self-defense round and its surprising modern performance. The .22 Short, often dismissed as weak, demonstrates effective penetration and material destruction capabilities when tested under realistic conditions, challenging its 'plinking only' reputation.

This review details a ballistic gel test of Browning X-Point .40 S&W 180gr self-defense ammunition. The test utilized a heavy clothing barrier and two Glock pistols (G27 and G22) with different barrel lengths to assess performance. While the ammunition demonstrated consistent expansion and deep penetration, the host concluded it was adequate but not superior to other available options.

This expert analysis debunks the myth that the .22 Short is only for plinking. Drawing on historical context and ballistic testing, it highlights the cartridge's original role in self-defense and its surprising penetration capabilities. The .22 Short remains a viable option for specific applications like pest control and training recoil-sensitive shooters, despite its diminutive reputation.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of the Winchester Silvertip .44 Magnum 210-grain JHP ammunition. The test, conducted by an expert instructor, compares performance from a 4-inch Taurus Tracker and an 8-inch Colt Anaconda. Results show excellent expansion and energy transfer, with the longer barrel significantly increasing velocity.
