Videos tagged with Pilgrim Ammunition

This video discusses the origins of Pilgrim Ammunition, founded in 2018. The founder explains his transition from the oil and gas industry to ammunition manufacturing after a management buyout opportunity. He mentions previously carrying Liberty Ammunition, which was owned by the same individual who is now the 'brains' behind Pilgrim.

This video demonstrates the performance of Pilgrim Ammunition through ballistic gel tests and recoil comparison against Hornady Critical Defense. The tests highlight Pilgrim's high velocity (2000 ft/s), light 50-grain weight, and unique 'exploding' expansion pattern resulting in zero over-penetration. It also showcases significantly reduced recoil and improved control during rapid fire drills, making it a top choice for daily carry.

This video highlights Pilgrim Ammunition as the preferred carry ammo at Shark Coast Tactical, with all employees and the owner carrying it. The technical explanation focuses on its 50-grain weight and 2000 ft/s velocity, emphasizing its 'zero over penetration' characteristic. The ammunition is designed to penetrate barriers like car doors and 2x4s but then fragment in a unique pattern upon hitting fluid, minimizing risk to bystanders.

This podcast episode delves into the controversial SIG Sauer P320, discussing its history of alleged accidental discharges and SIG's response. The hosts and guest James from Pilgrim Ammunition explore the nuances of the P320's safety concerns, the impact of legal settlements, and the company's aggressive stance against critics. The discussion also touches on the broader firearms industry, personal experiences with various firearms, and international perspectives on gun ownership and government control.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Pilgrim Ammunition's 9mm +P Torch self-defense rounds. The test evaluates projectile velocity from different barrel lengths and performance in ballistic gel, focusing on fragmentation and penetration. The instructor notes the ammunition's ability to achieve claimed velocities and fragment effectively, though expresses personal reservations about the penetration depth typical of this ammunition type.

This video tests Pilgrim Ammunition's .380 Auto Torch rounds, featuring a 50-grain solid copper projectile designed for controlled fragmentation. The tests were conducted using a gel setup with a heavy clothing barrier and chronographed with a Labradar. The reviewer found the velocities achieved from both a Ruger LCP Max and an S&W Shield EZ 380 to be significantly lower than advertised, leading to disappointing performance in the gel test. The LCP Max produced no fragmentation and insufficient penetration, while the Shield EZ showed some fragmentation but also fell short of expected performance metrics.

This video reviews Pilgrim Ammunition's Torch line, a 9mm round designed for home defense and law enforcement. It highlights the ammunition's high velocity, kinetic energy, and unique projectile design intended to create a significant starburst pattern upon impact, minimizing over-penetration. Testing included chronograph readings and ballistics gel analysis.
