This video details a ballistic gel test of Underwood Ammo's 9mm +P+ Extreme Defender Platinum Edition ammunition. The test evaluates velocity and penetration through a heavy clothing barrier using two different firearm barrel lengths. The instructor provides insights into the performance characteristics of solid copper fluted projectiles, comparing them to traditional expanding rounds.

This video compares the ballistic performance of Grizzly 9mm +P and Underwood 9mm +P+ ammunition fired from a Sig P365 with a 3-inch barrel. Both loads demonstrated significant expansion and velocity, though the Underwood +P+ shed more mass. The instructor notes that while these loads are powerful, the added recoil and flash might not be worth the marginal performance gains over standard loads, suggesting alternatives like Federal's 9mm HST (V-Crown) for comparable performance with less violence.
