This Hard is TOO SOFT!...Buffalo Bore .32 ACP +P Hardcast Self-Defense AMMO Ballistic Gel Test!

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test comparing Armscor 180gr JHP and PMC Bronze 170gr JHP 10mm ammunition. The instructor, with apparent expertise in firearms testing, demonstrates that while both rounds show improved performance with increased velocity from a Glock 40 compared to previous tests with a Glock 20, they still fall short of typical 10mm power levels, performing more like .40 S&W loads. The test highlights the critical role of velocity in achieving proper bullet expansion and energy transfer.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of Defiant Munitions .357 Magnum TCX ammunition, comparing its performance across different handgun barrel lengths (2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch). The instructor, with apparent expertise in firearms testing, analyzes velocity, penetration, and expansion data, concluding that the ammunition performs optimally from a 4-inch barrel, while performance from a 2-inch barrel is considered less impressive for the caliber.

This video presents a ballistic gel test of Black Hills Ammunition's 155-grain JHP .40 S&W self-defense rounds. The instructor, with apparent experience in firearms testing, evaluates performance from both a Glock 27 (3.5-inch barrel) and a Glock 22 (4.5-inch barrel). While not top-tier, the ammunition demonstrated adequate expansion and penetration, particularly from the longer barrel, suggesting it's a viable option for concealed carry or self-defense.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test comparing Federal HST and Speer Gold Dot ammunition in .357 SIG from a short-barreled pistol (Glock 27 with Glock 33 barrel, 3.43-inch barrel). Both ammunition types demonstrated excellent performance, with nearly identical penetration and expansion. The Federal HST exhibited slightly higher average velocity and better consistency in chronograph readings.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of Black Hills Honey Badger .45 ACP ammunition. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise in firearms testing, evaluates the performance of this solid copper fluted projectile through a heavy clothing barrier. Key findings include consistent penetration and disruption across different barrel lengths, though the instructor notes a desire for higher velocity and energy compared to advertised claims.

This video presents a ballistic gel test of PMC SFX 9mm 147-grain ammunition, evaluating its performance from different barrel lengths (4.5-inch and 6.5-inch). The test includes velocity measurements using a chronograph and visual assessment of bullet expansion and penetration in ballistic gel, with a heavy clothing barrier. The instructor notes the ammunition's consistent performance and impressive expansion, comparing it to HST and V-Crown projectiles.

This guide details the field strip and reassembly process for the Mossberg Maverick 88 shotgun, as demonstrated by the Tools&Targets host. It covers the removal and reinstallation of key internal components, emphasizing the platform's simplicity for maintenance. The host, possessing high authority and hands-on experience, provides practical insights into the shotgun's design and operation.

This video details a comprehensive terminal ballistics test of Federal Syntech Defense 9mm ammunition. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, uses professional equipment like LabRadar and standardized protocols to evaluate projectile performance in ballistic gel through a clothing barrier. The test compares results from a Canik Mete MC9 and a Glock 17 Gen 4, providing objective data on velocity, segmentation, and penetration depth.

This video provides an expert-level unboxing and range test of the Taurus Model 856 .38 Special revolver. The host, an experienced firearms enthusiast, conducts empirical trigger weight testing and side-by-side comparisons. He demonstrates proficiency in both single and double-action shooting, achieving tight groups at various distances and with different ammunition types. The review highlights the revolver's accuracy, reliability, and comfortable handling, recommending it as a solid choice for a .38 Special snub-nose.

This comprehensive review from Tools&Targets analyzes the performance of three top .380 ACP ammunition loads: Federal Premium Hydra-Shok Deep, Underwood Xtreme Penetrator, and Winchester 95-grain FMJ. Using a Ruger LCP Max and standardized ballistic gel testing through a heavy clothing barrier, the analysis provides objective data on velocity, penetration, and expansion. The expert assessment highlights the practical implications for concealed carry and self-defense scenarios.
