High Velocity Underwood .40 S&W vs Heavy Steel Door - TheFireArmGuy

This video provides a detailed ballistic test of Underwood's 155 Grain XTP .40 S&W ammunition, fired from both a Glock 27 (3.5-inch barrel) and a Glock 22 (4.5-inch barrel). The instructor, with clear expertise in firearms and ballistics, demonstrates the ammunition's performance in gel blocks behind a heavy clothing barrier, measuring velocity, expansion, and penetration. The results indicate excellent performance for self-defense, with consistent expansion and penetration across different barrel lengths, though the shorter barrel of the G27 produces more noticeable recoil.

This video details a comprehensive ballistic test of CorBon DPX .40 S&W ammunition, featuring a 140-grain solid copper expander projectile. The test utilizes a heavy clothing barrier and ballistic gel, with velocities measured from both a Glock 27 (3.5-inch barrel) and a Glock 22 (4.5-inch barrel). The results demonstrate significant expansion and consistent penetration, highlighting the ammunition's effectiveness for self-defense.

This video analyzes the potential shift away from 9mm Luger in 2026, exploring several alternative calibers.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of Underwood's 9mm +P 68 Grain Xtreme Defender ammunition through rigorous ballistic gel testing. The host, demonstrating high authority, uses professional equipment like a LabRadar chronograph to measure velocity and energy transfer across different firearm barrel lengths (Canik Mete MC9 3.1" vs. Glock 17 4.5"). The test simulates real-world conditions with a heavy clothing barrier and provides detailed insights into penetration depth and projectile integrity, concluding that the lightweight round offers consistent performance.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of five common handgun calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) using Sig V-Crown hollow-point ammunition. The test, conducted by Buckeye Ballistics, uses chickens as a medium to observe projectile performance, noting differences in wound channels and penetration. The presenter also discusses ammunition weight variations and a case rupture incident with .45 ACP ammunition.

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 guide details a rapid-fire technique for the Charles Daly Honcho Triple Threat, emphasizing its unique fast-resetting single trigger. The demonstration by TheFirearmGuy highlights how to leverage this feature for quick follow-up shots across all three barrels. It's presented as a solution for those needing more capacity than a standard double-barrel.
