This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing Sig Sauer's 9mm 124-grain V-Crown ammunition in both standard pressure and M17 +P variants, using a Sig P365 pistol with a 3-inch barrel. The test reveals surprising results where the standard pressure rounds exhibited slightly higher average velocity and greater penetration than the advertised +P M17 rounds, despite comparable expansion. The presenter expresses disappointment that the M17 +P variant did not significantly outperform the standard version as marketed.

This video demonstrates how to transform a SIG P365 into a compact Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) using the Tyrant TWS365 chassis system.

The presenter highlights the ease of installation, the potential for increased stability and capacity, and the versatility of the P365 platform for such modifications.

This analysis by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons critically examines the US Army's adoption of the SIG Sauer M7 rifle and the 6.8x51mm caliber. McCollum, a recognized firearms expert, argues that the justifications for the NGSW program—extending engagement range and defeating advanced body armor—are flawed. He suggests that modern drone technology is a more effective solution for long-range threats and that advanced bullet design, rather than extreme pressure, is a better approach to armor penetration. The analysis highlights practical engagement limitations due to visibility and terrain, advocating for the role of the Designated Marksman over a universal heavy rifle. McCollum predicts the M7's adoption may be short-lived due to its inherent drawbacks.
