This video reviews ten of the deadliest 9mm self-defense ammunition loads for 2026, focusing on their terminal performance, expansion characteristics, and suitability for various self-defense scenarios. It highlights innovative designs like NovX's poly-copper matrix and Lehigh Defense's Honey Badger, alongside established performers like Federal HST and Speer Gold Dot. The discussion emphasizes the balance between stopping power, penetration, and avoiding over-penetration, offering insights for concealed carry and duty use.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of testing carry ammunition for reliability in your specific firearm. The host, Trench Grenade, argues that 'fancy' carry ammo, despite its performance in gel tests, can be unreliable due to variations in bullet design and firearm feed ramp geometry. He stresses that every handgun is unique and requires live-fire testing with at least 100 rounds of chosen carry ammo to ensure it cycles flawlessly before relying on it for self-defense. If testing is not immediately feasible, he recommends using standard 124-grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition for training and carry.

The speaker, Appalachian Smokewagon, discusses his choice for home defense in a small, single-story house: a Glock 34 Gen 5 pistol. He emphasizes its maneuverability and highlights specific modifications and ammunition choices for effective defense, including Speer Gold Dot, Sig V-Crown, Hornady Critical Defense, and Underwood Ammo Extreme Defender. The setup includes a 1000-lumen TLR-1 HL weapon light and a Trijicon RMR optic, stored in a quick-release Safari Land holster.

This video investigates the performance differences of ammunition, specifically Sig Sauer's 365 ammunition, when fired from short-barreled micro-compact pistols compared to standard 4-inch barrels. It demonstrates that barrel length significantly impacts projectile velocity and, consequently, ammunition performance, particularly for defensive hollow-point rounds. The testing highlights the importance of understanding how your chosen ammunition will perform from your specific firearm's barrel length.

This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing Sig V-Crown 357 SIG 125-grain ammunition against Federal HST 357 Magnum 154-grain ammunition. The test evaluates bullet expansion, penetration, and velocity through a heavy clothing barrier. While both performed well, the 357 Magnum HST demonstrated superior expansion and slightly less penetration, with the 357 SIG V-Crown achieving higher velocity but less expansion.

This video features a ballistic gel test of 124-grain Sig V-Crown 9mm ammunition that has been handloaded. The test is conducted using Clear Ballistics Gel, a common medium for evaluating bullet performance. The focus is on how the handloaded ammunition performs upon impact, examining factors like expansion, penetration, and fragmentation, which are critical for understanding defensive or hunting effectiveness.

This YouTube video focuses on a "hot handload" of 9mm ammunition specifically for a Sig Sauer firearm, with an emphasis on achieved velocities. The content likely involves testing and showcasing the performance of this custom ammunition in a Sig handgun. Viewers can expect data related to the ammunition's power and speed, potentially for those interested in reloading or optimizing handgun performance.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Sig Elite Performance V-Crown .380 ACP 90gr JHP ammunition fired from a Ruger LCP Max. The test involved bare gel and four layers of denim to assess expansion and penetration. The ammunition demonstrated good expansion and met FBI minimum penetration standards in bare gel but showed no expansion through denim.

This video focuses on SIG V-Crown defensive ammunition, detailing its advanced design features. Key innovations highlighted include a stacked hollow point cavity, engineered to deliver superior on-target energy, maximum weight retention, and optimal expansion. These attributes are presented as crucial for achieving ultimate stopping power, making it a top choice for self-defense and concealed carry applications.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of five common handgun calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) using Sig V-Crown hollow-point ammunition. The test, conducted by Buckeye Ballistics, uses chickens as a medium to observe projectile performance, noting differences in wound channels and penetration. The presenter also discusses ammunition weight variations and a case rupture incident with .45 ACP ammunition.

This YouTube video features a ballistic gel test and review of the Sig V-Crown .45ACP 230gr ammunition. The content creator also provides links to various gear they use regularly in their videos, including steel targets, cameras, editing equipment, hearing protection, safety glasses, ballistic gelatin powder, scales, calipers, denim, rangefinders, shooting rests, chronographs, target stands, and different types of splatter targets. The video appears to be focused on evaluating the performance of this specific ammunition through a controlled test.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of the Sig V-Crown Elite Performance .40 S&W 180gr ammunition, conducted by Buckeye Ballistics. The test evaluates penetration, expansion, and retained weight through a t-shirt and four layers of denim, using a Glock 35 with a 5.2-inch barrel. The instructor highlights the impressive wound cavity and expansion in the t-shirt test, noting slight over-penetration by FBI standards in the denim test.
