This video tests the performance of 1-karat diamond-tipped .45 ACP rounds fired from a 1911. The tests included a water jug penetration and a ballistics gelatin test. The diamond-tipped rounds, similar to FMJ, did not exhibit expansion and passed through both water jugs and the gelatin block cleanly, suggesting potential underperformance compared to traditional hollow points in this specific configuration. The presenter questions the effectiveness of .45 ACP hollow points in general based on these results.

The Kimber DS Warrior is a double-stack 1911 pistol chambered in 9mm, designed to offer a 2011-style platform at a more accessible price point.
