This video tests PMC SFX 9mm Starfire hollow-point ammunition through ballistic gel with a heavy clothing barrier. Results varied significantly based on barrel length and velocity. The 4.5-inch barrel Glock 17 achieved proper expansion and penetration, while the 3.1-inch barrel Canik MC9 failed to expand due to insufficient velocity, resulting in over-penetration. The instructor notes that while the ammo performed as claimed at higher velocities, its effectiveness is highly dependent on barrel length and velocity.
