This video tests various .22LR self-defense rounds using a Taurus G2c with a short barrel to simulate common carry scenarios. The instructor emphasizes that .22LR is generally not ideal for self-defense due to insufficient penetration according to FBI standards, but acknowledges it's better than nothing if it's the only firearm someone will carry. The testing focuses on penetration depth and expansion through simulated clothing.

This expert analysis, led by an experienced instructor, details the performance of Federal Premium .45 Auto 230gr HST ammunition fired from a short-barrel handgun. The test focuses on expansion capabilities, penetration depth, and weight retention in both bare and clothed ballistic gelatin. The data confirms the HST's effectiveness for defensive use, meeting FBI standards even from a reduced barrel length.
