Turn Down The Lights!...Buffalo Bore .357 Sig Low Flash Self-Defense AMMO Ballistic Gel Test!

This video details a ballistic gel test of Federal HST 125gr .357 Sig ammunition fired from a Glock 31 with a 4.5-inch barrel. The test measured velocity, penetration depth, retained weight, and expanded diameter through ballistic gelatin, a bear block, and four layers of denim. Results indicate consistent performance and significant expansion.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Buffalo Bore's .380 ACP +P ammunition, featuring Barnes Tac-XP solid copper projectiles. The test measures velocity from two Smith & Wesson firearms (Bodyguard 2.0 and M&P EZ) and evaluates projectile expansion and penetration through a clothing barrier. The presenter concludes that while the ammunition offers good energy for its caliber, its high cost and performance comparable to less expensive options make it a questionable value proposition for most users.

This video provides a detailed comparison of Buffalo Bore and Grizzly 10mm Auto 180-grain ammunition through ballistic gel testing. The instructor, with clear expertise in firearms and ballistics, demonstrates a rigorous testing protocol using a chronograph and gel blocks with clothing barriers. The results highlight the exceptional performance of both brands, with Buffalo Bore slightly edging out Grizzly in retained weight and overall expansion, though both offer superior 10mm performance.

This video provides a detailed comparison of three types of .380 ACP ammunition: Buffalo Bore Hardcast (standard and +P), Fiocchi FMJ, and Xtreme Penetrator. The testing involves ballistic gel to measure penetration, velocity, and projectile integrity. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, emphasizes the importance of maximizing energy and penetration from the .380 ACP caliber for self-defense applications.

This video details a ballistic gel test comparing 9mm +P+ and .357 SIG 115-grain Underwood self-defense ammunition. The instructor, with apparent expertise in ballistics testing, conducts velocity measurements using a Labradar and analyzes projectile performance in gel blocks behind a clothing barrier. The test reveals significant differences in penetration and expansion, with the .357 SIG demonstrating superior penetration while the 9mm showed impressive expansion but limited depth.

This video details a ballistic gel test comparing Federal Punch and Buffalo Bore .25 ACP ammunition. The instructor, experienced in firearms testing, demonstrates a rigorous methodology using a chronograph and layered clothing barriers to assess projectile performance. The results highlight the limitations of the .25 ACP caliber for defensive use, with both ammunition types showing minimal penetration and significant tumbling in gel.

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.
