Independence 9mm 115 Grain HP Quick Test Ammo Review

This video from Exile Armory LLC showcases a wide variety of firearms available for purchase, including shotguns, pistols, and rifles. The presenters highlight specific models like the Mossberg 510, Sig P365X, Colt Gold Cup, and Ruger Precision Rifle, detailing their calibers and some features. They also mention available suppressors and accessories, providing prices for most items. The video serves as a virtual showroom, encouraging viewers to visit or call for more information.

This video details a comprehensive ballistic gel test of Seismic Ammo Quakemaker +M 9mm ammunition, conducted by an experienced instructor. The test evaluates the ammunition's performance through a clothing barrier, measuring velocity, penetration, and projectile expansion using firearms like the Ruger PC Charger and HK SP5. The instructor provides a critical analysis of the results, comparing them to self-defense expectations.

This review provides shooting impressions of the CZ P10C Nocturn, including initial live-fire accuracy, full magazine reliability, and extensive ammunition compatibility testing across a wide grain range. The reviewer notes manageable recoil for its size, a trigger that breaks in nicely, and addresses potential concerns regarding dry-fire durability and trigger guard pinching.

Buckeye Ballistics provides an in-depth analysis of Federal HST 124gr +P 9mm ammunition performance across various barrel lengths (3.3" to 10.5"). The expert demonstrates high authority through detailed calibration of ballistic gelatin and analysis of velocity's impact on bullet expansion and penetration. The test highlights how longer barrels increase velocity, leading to more dramatic expansion, but also increased drag, which can affect penetration depth.

This review of the Colt All-American 2000, designed by Reed Knight and Eugene Stoner, challenges historical claims of extreme inaccuracy. While the pistol exhibited reliability issues and a heavy, unusual trigger pull, the reviewer's tests showed significantly better accuracy than reported in early 1990s firearms publications. The reviewer suggests that the pistol's ergonomics, trigger, and potentially manufacturing tolerances contributed to its poor reception, rather than outright fabrication by journalists.

This video provides a comprehensive overview of new firearm releases and industry news. It details new models from Beretta, Wilson Combat, Springfield Armory, Savage, Henry, Chiappa, Sig Sauer, and FN, including specifications, calibers, and MSRPs. The presenter also discusses new optics, suppressors, and firearm accessories, offering insights into their features and potential value.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides a practical, albeit unconventional, comparison of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The expert demonstrates varying levels of terminal performance, from the .22LR's significant splitting to the .45 ACP's complete watermelon fragmentation, highlighting the differences in hydraulic shock and expansion. The test utilizes specific hollow-point ammunition, including Speer Gold Dot, Aguila Super Maximum, and Underwood XTP, showcasing their effects.

This video provides a practical, safety-conscious comparison of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, details the testing methodology and results, emphasizing the risks of ricochet. None of the tested pistol calibers fully penetrated the concrete block's second wall, suggesting their limitations for certain penetration scenarios.

This review of the Taurus TX22 .22 LR pistol details its features, including a 16+1 capacity and excellent trigger. While initial testing with CCI Mini-Mags was flawless, subsequent tests with various ammunition types revealed cycling issues and culminated in a catastrophic failure. The failure was attributed to a squib load followed by a second shot, causing a barrel bulge and ruptured casing, highlighting potential ammunition inconsistencies. The review provides a detailed look at disassembly and damage assessment.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides an experimental comparison of three popular rimfire calibers: .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR, using cantaloupes as ballistic mediums. The host, an experienced shooter, demonstrates the distinct terminal ballistics of each round, highlighting how bullet construction and velocity affect target interaction. The comparison offers practical insights into the performance differences between these rimfire cartridges on soft tissue simulants.
