This video presents a ballistic gel test of the Velocitas VX9 9mm Luger solid copper expanding ammunition. The test evaluates projectile performance, including expansion and penetration, fired from both a short-barreled Canik MC9 and a standard-barreled Glock 17. The presenter notes the ammunition's consistent expansion and disruption, while also commenting on the desire for higher velocity and energy.

This video details a 3,000-round torture test of a Glock 19 Gen 5 pistol. The test aimed to identify potential failure points under strenuous conditions, using standard pressure 124-grain ammunition and primarily Glock OEM magazines, with Magpul magazines as a supplement. The pistol experienced significant issues, most notably with its Trijicon night sights becoming loose and drifting, as well as trigger reset failures and extraction malfunctions, particularly after water and mud exposure.

This review by Tools&Targets features a ballistic gel test of G9 Defense 9mm External Hollow Point (EHP) ammunition, both standard pressure and Plus P. The instructor, while acknowledging the ammunition's good performance in gel tests, expresses skepticism about its overall value compared to traditional lead hollow points, citing lower energy levels and the availability of similar solid copper fluted rounds. The test utilized a Canik MC9 with a 3.1-inch barrel and a heavy clothing barrier.

This video provides an update on the Ruger LCP Max .380 ACP, addressing previous issues with magazine reliability and slide lockback. The presenter details how Ruger sent a replacement magazine, which appears to have resolved the primary problems. The video also touches on the use of Plus P ammunition and its potential impact on the firearm's operation, recommending standard pressure loads for optimal reliability.

This expert analysis details a ballistic gel test comparing Federal HST 124gr 9mm Luger Standard Pressure and +P ammunition using a Sig Sauer P365. The data, presented by a knowledgeable host, highlights performance differences in velocity, penetration, and expansion, concluding that the +P variant offers superior performance for short-barreled defensive handguns.

This ballistic gel retest compares Sig V-Crown 124gr standard pressure and M17 Plus P 9mm ammunition fired from a Canik TP9SFx with a 5-inch barrel. The test aimed to determine if a longer barrel significantly impacts performance compared to a previous test with a 3-inch barrel. Results showed minimal velocity differences and nearly identical expansion and wound channel characteristics, suggesting the longer barrel offered no substantial performance enhancement for the Plus P rounds.
