The video discusses several 9mm ammunition brands, including Venom (made in Turkey), Wolf, Tulammo, Bellum (made in Serbia), Blazer (147-grain flat nose), and Remington Range (115-grain FMJ). The reviewer explores these brands due to current ammunition shortages.

Characteristics discussed include bullet weight (115, 124, 147 grain), casing material (brass, steel with coating), bullet type (brass wash, copper coated, full metal jacket, flat nose), and origin (Turkey, Serbia). Price points are also mentioned as a factor during the shortage.

How has the ammunition shortage affected the reviewer's perspective on ammo brands?

The reviewer states that the shortage has forced them to consider and purchase brands they previously would have overlooked or passed up, like Wolf and Tulammo. This experience has led to a reevaluation of what ammunition is acceptable for shooting.

Are there any specific recommendations for self-defense ammunition?

While the focus is on range ammo, the reviewer mentions carrying flat-nose ammunition in .380 for reduced over-penetration, suggesting a similar consideration for 9mm flat-nose rounds like the 147-grain Blazer discussed, as they offer less penetration than round-nose bullets.
