The presenter, Brian, highlights key differences in materials and intended uses.
This video showcases the Glock 41 in .45 ACP, modified with an Alpha Wolf threaded barrel and a Banish 45 suppressor from Silencer Central. Hickok45 demonstrates its effectiveness for plinking with Syntech ammunition, noting the reduction in sound and the 'first round pop'. The addition of Talon Grips enhances handling during rapid fire.
This video features Anthony Colandro from Gun For Hire conducting an experiment with FBI ballistic gelatin, firing four different types of 9mm ammunition from a Glock 19. The ammunition tested includes Federal Guard Dog, Hornady 115 Grain Critical Defense (noted as New Jersey Legal), Syntech 150 Grain, and a 115 Grain FMJ round. The video aims to visually demonstrate the performance of each round in ballistic gelatin, prompting viewers to consider which round might offer the most penetration or cause the most tissue damage. It also serves as a promotion for Gun For Hire, encouraging viewers to visit their range, take courses, or engage with their various media platforms.
