This video demonstrates the process of testing a handloaded 10mm cartridge featuring a 165gr Sig V-Crown JHP bullet and 9.0 grains of Hodgdon Longshot powder. An experienced handloader uses a Caldwell chronograph to measure velocities and calculate muzzle energy from two different barrel lengths (3.78" Glock 29 and 5" 1911), providing objective ballistic data.

This guide outlines a winter Every Day Carry (EDC) strategy from an experienced firearms instructor. It covers selecting firearms suitable for heavier clothing, emphasizing consistent practice with carry platforms, and integrating essential tools like knives and medical kits. The advice highlights the importance of firearm maintenance, reliable holsters, and a holistic approach to self-defense that includes physical fitness and combatives.

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of recommended and discouraged ammunition choices for concealed carry, focusing on 9mm. The instructor emphasizes the critical importance of testing ammunition in your specific firearm to ensure reliability. Key recommendations include Federal HST and Speer Gold Dot for their feeding reliability and consistent performance, while cautioning against steel case, Turkish-made, and certain AAC and Sig V-Crown loads due to potential stoppages and inconsistencies.

This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing Magtech, Sig Sauer V-Crown, and Federal HST 9mm jacketed hollow point ammunition. The presenter, Guns Pinoy, evaluates expansion and penetration, noting that while hollow points are generally more expensive, they are preferred for defensive pistols. The test uses a Glock 19 and a 10% FBI Gel block from Clear Ballistics.

This video discusses the critical importance of selecting the right ammunition for concealed carry, differentiating between 'timers' (rounds that incapacitate but don't immediately stop a threat) and 'switches' (rounds that instantly neutralize a threat). The speaker strongly advises against using Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition for self-defense due to its tendency to over-penetrate and lack of reliable stopping power. Instead, they recommend high-quality jacketed hollow-point (JHP) rounds from reputable manufacturers, emphasizing the need to test chosen carry ammunition for reliability in one's specific firearm.

This guide breaks down the selection of 9mm defensive ammunition, drawing on expert analysis of various loads. It covers critical factors like velocity, bullet design, and performance against barriers, emphasizing that the right choice can be life-saving. The information is presented with a high degree of authority, referencing ballistic data and industry standards.

This guide outlines a comprehensive Every Day Carry (EDC) setup as presented by Honest Outlaw, emphasizing personalized gear choices based on lifestyle and needs. It details specific firearm models like the S&W Shield Plus Performance Center, ammunition selections, holster options, and essential tools such as knives and flashlights. The advice is practical, drawing on extensive experience to help viewers build their own reliable EDC system.

This video humorously explores home defense calibers against hypothetical penguin invaders, using ballistic gel dummies. It tests 9mm, 5.56x45mm, and 12 gauge buckshot, demonstrating their terminal effects. The content emphasizes having fun with firearms hobbies while acknowledging the importance of preparedness, even in jest.

This video details a ballistic test of Sig V-Crown 9mm ammunition (115 and 124 grain) fired from a Taurus GX4 with a 3-inch barrel through a heavy clothing barrier. The test measured velocity and observed penetration and expansion in ballistic gel. The instructor noted that while expansion was somewhat hindered by the clothing, both loads provided adequate penetration and wound channel disruption for self-defense purposes, despite not reaching advertised velocities from the short barrel.

This expert-level entry details seven top-tier 9mm ammunition options for self-defense, as presented by a firearms instructor. It covers specific product features, ballistic performance, and intended applications, emphasizing the importance of selecting the correct round for effective self-protection. The analysis highlights differences between duty and concealed carry loads, offering insights into bullet construction and expansion characteristics.

This video provides an expert review of the top five 10mm Auto ammunition loads for self-defense and hunting. It details critical ballistic performance metrics such as muzzle velocity, bullet expansion, and penetration depth for each round, offering insights into their effectiveness for various applications. The review highlights specific features of each load, including bullet construction and intended use, aiding viewers in selecting the most suitable ammunition for their needs.

This guide details a ballistic gel testing procedure for .380 Auto ammunition, specifically Sig Sauer V-Crown 90gr JHP, using a Ruger LCP Max and a Smith & Wesson Shield EZ Performance Center. The expert instructor demonstrates how to measure velocity, analyze wound channels, and assess bullet expansion and penetration. The results highlight the importance of penetration for the .380 Auto caliber in self-defense scenarios.
