This video documents the break-in period of a High Point C9 pistol over 224 rounds. The presenter, assisted by Gravy Train, tests the firearm with different ammunition types and factory magazines, noting performance, malfunctions, and potential areas for improvement like the trigger. The C9 is observed to perform better with round nose ammunition compared to flat nose.

This review of the Ruger LCP MAX .380 ACP focuses on its features for concealed carry. The presenter highlights its double-stack magazine capacity (10+1), lighter weight compared to the Sig P238, and improved grip ergonomics. While the trigger is noted as heavy, this is seen as a safety feature for pocket carry. Reliability testing with 100 rounds, including flat-nose ammunition, was flawless. The sights, featuring a tritium front, are praised. The primary trade-off for its capacity and features is a heavier trigger pull, impacting rapid-fire accuracy at distance but deemed acceptable for its intended close-quarters self-defense role.

This video details extensive ammunition testing for the Ruger LCP II in .22 Long Rifle. The reviewer found that round-nose ammunition, particularly CCI Mini Mags and Federal 36 Grain Jacketed Hollow Points, consistently performed reliably. Flat-nose projectiles, like Winchester Super X, often experienced feeding issues due to their profile, though smaller truncated hollow points like Remington Yellow Jackets fed better. The manual recommends high-velocity ammo, but consistent feeding is paramount for this firearm.

This video provides a comparative review of the Bersa Thunder 380 and the Bersa Thunder 380 Combat. Key differences highlighted include grip texture, sights, and magazine capacity. The reviewer emphasizes the reliability of both models with various ammunition types, including flat-nose rounds, and notes the improved recoil management and quicker sight acquisition on the Combat model.

This follow-up review of the Taurus Spectrum after approximately 200 rounds and a cleaning/lubrication cycle reveals persistent reliability issues. The firearm experienced multiple stovepipe malfunctions and failures to feed, even with round-nose ammunition. Flat-nose ammunition also presented feeding problems, getting stuck on the feed ramp. The presenter concludes the firearm still has issues and plans to send it back to Taurus for service.

This video provides a hands-on review of the Henry Big Boy lever-action rifle chambered in .357 Magnum. The reviewer highlights its craftsmanship, shooting characteristics, and potential uses.

Feeding issues with hollow-point ammunition are discussed, with a suggestion to try round-nose bullets. The dual aperture iron sights are praised for their versatility in different shooting scenarios.

Ozzie Reviews provides a comprehensive guide to selecting .22 LR ammunition, categorizing it by use (match, plinking, hunting) and velocity (reduced, subsonic/standard, high, hyper). The video details projectile types (round nose vs. hollow point), velocity ranges, and practical applications for each category, emphasizing the importance of testing ammunition in one's specific firearm for optimal accuracy and performance. The instructor, Ozzie, offers practical advice based on extensive experience.

This video provides essential guidance on selecting concealed carry ammunition.
