I Pulled The PLUG!...Surprising Results! Hornady Critical Defense NO INSERT 9MM Ballistic Gel Test!
This video details a comparative ballistic gel test of Hornady Critical Defense 9mm 115gr FTX ammunition, specifically examining the effect of the polymer Flex Tip insert. Conducted by an experienced ammunition tester using a Glock 19 Gen 5 and LabRadar, the test reveals that removing the insert surprisingly led to greater projectile expansion, though the standard round achieved deeper penetration. The findings offer insights into the design and function of self-defense ammunition.
