Edwin Sarkissian, a high-profile firearms influencer, conducted an experimental test to determine the effectiveness of Level IIIA body armor against various firearms. The test involved a GlenDel deer target wearing K-9 armor, subjected to rounds from an Umarex Hammer .50 cal air rifle, multiple handguns (.22 LR, 9mm, .38 Super, 10mm, .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum), a 5.7x28mm pistol, and a 5.56 NATO rifle. The results showed that while larger caliber handgun rounds and the air rifle were stopped, high-velocity 5.7x28mm rounds and 5.56 NATO rifle rounds successfully penetrated the armor.
This video features a comprehensive review of the Springfield Armory Ronin Operator pistol chambered in 10mm. The reviewer highlights the pistol's excellent fit and finish, noting the forged frame and slide, match barrel, and trigger, all contributing to its accuracy. Key features discussed include a three-dot sight system with a red fiber optic front sight, a right-handed safety, an enhanced beavertail grip, and its classic blued slide with a stainless frame and wood grips. The reviewer expresses strong approval, calling it a 'hammer' and a beautiful, quality firearm that offers great value. It's recommended as a potential backcountry bear gun.
