Duration: 11:20

This video details a ballistic gel test of CorBon DPX 9mm +P 115-grain ammunition, evaluating its performance from two different barrel lengths: a 3.1-inch barrel (MC9) and a 4.5-inch barrel (Glock 17). The test measures velocity, penetration, and expansion, demonstrating consistent and effective performance across both platforms.

Quick Summary

The CorBon DPX 9mm +P 115gr ammunition demonstrated excellent performance in ballistic gel tests. From a 3.1-inch barrel, it averaged 1218 fps and penetrated 16.5 inches with full expansion to ~0.688 inches. From a 4.5-inch barrel, it averaged 1270 fps, penetrated 17.5 inches, and retained its full 115-grain weight.
