A Simply Excellent Solid Copper Hollow Point: The Asym .45 Auto 185gr TAC-XP Gel Test

This YouTube video features a review of the "TacOps 9mm" ammunition from PNW Arms. The reviewer tests its accuracy and reliability using five-shot groups at seven yards with a 3.2" Walther PPS and a 4" Walther P99. Following this, the ammunition is tested against FBI ballistics gel at seven yards, fired from a Glock 19. The video aims to provide insights into the performance of this specific ammunition type.

This video details a ballistics test of Steinel 185-grain solid copper hollow-point .45 ACP ammunition fired from two 1911 pistols: a Taurus Commander with a 4.25-inch barrel and a Rock Island Armory with a 5-inch barrel. The test measured velocity, gel penetration, and projectile expansion, comparing the performance between the two barrel lengths. The presenter, experienced in ammunition testing, provides insights into the ammunition's performance relative to advertised specifications and its effectiveness.

This video details a ballistics gel test of Steinel 380 ACP 80-grain solid copper hollow-point ammunition fired from a Ruger LCP MAX (2.8-inch barrel) and an M&P Shield EZ (3.5-inch barrel). The test highlights significant bullet expansion but limited penetration, falling short of FBI standards. A critical safety incident involving a squib load from the Steinel ammunition is also documented, emphasizing the potential dangers of ammunition malfunctions.

This Guns & Gear episode features DoubleTap Ammunition's solid-copper hollow point defensive loads. The video highlights how these rounds are designed to expand effectively while preventing over-penetration, making them suitable for defensive use. It also promotes subscribing to Gun Talk for more content and details on their various platforms.

Ed Combmes of Concealed Carry Magazine reviews the PHD defensive cartridge from Cutting Edge Bullets, designed for micro polymer frame .380 ACP pistols like the Ruger LCP. The video highlights the ammunition's solid copper construction, designed to mimic a jacketed hollow point with four cuts that create 'petals' upon impact. Testing in an FBI block demonstrated significant wound channel disruption and approximately 12 inches of penetration from the base projectile, with detached petals creating secondary wound channels.

This video provides a detailed review and ballistic test of the GBW Legend Pro 9mm cartridge. The 115-grain solid copper hollow point projectile was tested for velocity and terminal performance in FBI ballistic gel. The results indicate excellent expansion and significant weight retention, making it a suitable option for self-defense, particularly in shorter-barreled firearms.

This video, presented by Alex C of TFBTV, identifies five of the most reliable firearms across different categories. The assessment focuses on mechanical simplicity, historical production numbers, and documented performance in demanding conditions. The chosen firearms include the Glock (handgun), Uzi (SMG), Mauser 98 (bolt-action rifle), Remington 870 (shotgun), and IWI Galil (self-loading rifle), with detailed explanations for each selection based on expert criteria.

This guide details the process of loading and firing a cap and ball revolver, emphasizing the multi-step procedure required for each shot. It highlights the historical significance but impracticality for modern concealed carry. The video features Alex C., a recognized firearms expert from TFBTV, demonstrating the techniques with technical accuracy and a humorous tone.

This video from TFB TV, hosted by James Reeves, provides an expert-level comparison of the Ruger Mini-14 and the AR-15, highlighting eight key areas where the Mini-14 may be considered superior. Reeves, demonstrating high authority with technical terminology and empirical testing, details advantages in low profile, stock trigger quality, maneuverability due to its operating system, sight radius, piston operation, accuracy improvements in modern variants, CHF barrels, and stainless steel construction. While acknowledging the AR-15's modularity and ergonomics, the Mini-14 is presented as a compelling alternative for specific use cases.

This video from TFBTV explores five excellent surplus rifles available for under $500, focusing on their historical significance, operational features, and current market value. The hosts, Alex C and Patrick R, demonstrate a high level of expertise, discussing specific models like the Lee Enfield, Yugo Mauser 98, Swiss K31, MAS 49/56, SKS, and Mosin Nagant M38. They highlight the affordability of these firearms and the availability of surplus ammunition, making them attractive options for collectors and shooters alike.
