Repeat or Redemption?...9MM CorBon 125 +P Self-Defense AMMO Ballistic Gel Test!

Published on April 19, 2024
Duration: 13:10

This video details a ballistic gel test of CorBon 9mm 125gr +P ammunition, re-testing after a previous mispackaging incident. The test compares performance from a short-barreled Canik METE MC9 (3.1-inch) and a longer-barreled Glock 17 (4.5-inch). The instructor emphasizes the importance of penetration for self-defense and notes the ammunition's consistent performance and velocity.

Quick Summary

CorBon 9mm 125gr +P ammunition averaged 1190 fps from a 3.1-inch barrel and 1267 fps from a 4.5-inch barrel in ballistic gel tests. It achieved 24 inches of penetration from the shorter barrel and 19.75 inches from the longer barrel, with good weight retention and moderate expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What were the average velocities for CorBon 9mm 125gr +P from different barrel lengths?

In the ballistic gel test, CorBon 9mm 125gr +P ammunition averaged 1190 feet per second from a 3.1-inch barrel (Canik MC9) and 1267 feet per second from a 4.5-inch barrel (Glock 17).

How did CorBon 9mm 125gr +P perform in ballistic gel penetration and expansion?

The ammunition achieved 24 inches of penetration with moderate expansion from a 3.1-inch barrel and 19.75 inches of penetration with greater expansion from a 4.5-inch barrel, with projectiles retaining near-original weight.

What is the instructor's preference for self-defense ammunition performance?

The instructor prioritizes deep penetration for self-defense ammunition, believing it is crucial for reaching vital organs, even if it means less dramatic projectile expansion.

What was the issue with the previous CorBon 9mm 125gr +P test?

Previously, the CorBon 9mm 125gr +P ammunition was mispackaged at the factory, containing 147gr target rounds instead of the advertised 125gr +P self-defense rounds, leading to inaccurate performance data.
