Ventura 10mm Lehigh Extreme Defense/Penetrator Armor Test

This guide details a ballistic gel test comparing the 10mm Auto and .357 Magnum calibers, as demonstrated by Kentucky Ballistics. Both calibers, using specific JHP ammunition, were tested for penetration in 16-inch Clear Ballistics gel blocks. The results showed full penetration for both, leaving the caliber debate unsettled. The video emphasizes practical comparison using specialized testing equipment.

This video, presented by an expert firearms instructor, explores emerging handgun calibers that are beginning to challenge 9mm's dominance. It details the ballistics, performance advantages, and specific firearm platforms for calibers like .30 Super Carry, 5.7x28mm, 10mm Auto, .357 SIG, and .22 TCM, offering insights into why shooters might choose these over the traditional 9mm for specific applications.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Underwood 10mm 180-grain Gold Dot ammunition. The test measures velocity from Glock 20 (4.6-inch barrel) and Glock 29 (3.8-inch barrel) pistols, and analyzes projectile performance including penetration, expansion, and fragmentation in gel with a clothing barrier. The results demonstrate significant expansion and energy transfer, making it a viable option for self-defense.

This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing two .38 Super self-defense ammunition types: Colt Defense (DoubleTap) 124gr JHP and Lehigh Defense 115gr Controlled Fracturing. The test, performed from a Colt Gold Cup National Match 1911, reveals significant differences in terminal performance. The Colt ammunition failed to expand, tumbling and exiting the gel block with no expansion, while the Lehigh ammunition fractured as designed, with its fragments and core achieving substantial penetration and spread.

This video analyzes the potential shift away from 9mm Luger in 2026, exploring several alternative calibers. It details the ballistics and applications of .30 Super Carry, 5.7x28mm, 10mm Auto, .357 SIG, and .22 TCM, offering insights into their performance advantages over 9mm in specific scenarios. The analysis is presented with a high degree of technical detail, drawing on ballistic data and historical context.

This video discusses a shift in handgun caliber popularity, moving away from the dominant 9mm Luger towards more powerful options like 10mm Auto and higher-velocity rounds like 5.7x28mm. The trend is driven by increased firearm availability in these calibers and a consumer desire for greater power in carry guns.

This video, presented by Alex C of TFBTV, identifies five of the most reliable firearms across different categories. The assessment focuses on mechanical simplicity, historical production numbers, and documented performance in demanding conditions. The chosen firearms include the Glock (handgun), Uzi (SMG), Mauser 98 (bolt-action rifle), Remington 870 (shotgun), and IWI Galil (self-loading rifle), with detailed explanations for each selection based on expert criteria.

This guide details the process of loading and firing a cap and ball revolver, emphasizing the multi-step procedure required for each shot. It highlights the historical significance but impracticality for modern concealed carry.
