We Test How Lethal 10MM AUTO Is

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 provides a comparative overview of popular handgun calibers in the US, focusing on their stopping power and practical applications. It details the ballistics, advantages, and disadvantages of 9mm Luger, .357 Magnum, 10mm Auto, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP, offering insights for self-defense and law enforcement use. The presenter, Ted from Line45, highlights how modern ammunition advancements have improved the effectiveness of these calibers.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of 9mm +P and 10mm Auto ballistics, featuring a host with high expertise in terminal ballistics. Through controlled testing on an outdoor range, the video demonstrates penetration capabilities against lumber, sand, concrete, mild steel, and ballistic gel, utilizing a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph for data verification. The 10mm Auto consistently shows superior performance in barrier penetration and energy transfer, though 9mm +P performs better than often expected.

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.

The video warns of an impending, potentially historic ammunition shortage due to a global gunpowder scarcity. The speaker, citing information from a major ammunition manufacturer, advises viewers to stock up on ammunition, especially common calibers like 9mm, 22LR, 380 ACP, and 45 ACP, as production may shift and prices are expected to rise significantly. The advice is presented as a fair warning for preparedness, not a scare tactic.

This video from The Gun Dungeon provides a comparative analysis of recoil reduction in 10mm handguns, specifically testing the effectiveness of a compensator on the Smith & Wesson M&P Carry Comp against uncompensated Glock 29 and Springfield Armory XDM models. The expert instructor demonstrates the handling and firing of each firearm with 165gr V-Crown Max Charge LongShot ammunition at an outdoor range, offering insights into practical performance differences.

This guide details the proper technique for safely loading the M1 Garand, specifically addressing the common 'Garand Thumb' phenomenon. It emphasizes maintaining downward pressure on the en-bloc clip during loading to prevent the bolt from slamming forward prematurely. Expert instruction from Garand Thumb highlights this as a key safety measure for new shooters.

This comprehensive review of the Russian Altyn helmet, presented by Garand Thumb, details its construction and ballistic performance. The helmet features a 3mm titanium shell with an aramid liner, rated for pistol and fragmentation threats. Testing reveals it stops 9mm and .44 Magnum rounds but fails against rifle calibers like 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm. Despite its robust construction for its intended role, its significant weight and lack of rifle protection are noted as drawbacks compared to modern alternatives.

Garand Thumb, a recognized subject matter expert in tactical equipment, critically assesses the effectiveness of ballistic face masks. The video details rigorous testing using realistic ballistic dummies and various firearms, from handguns to rifles, to measure projectile stopping power and backface deformation. The conclusion highlights significant risks associated with these masks, primarily due to severe deformation, suggesting they are often 'gimmicky' and less effective than traditional head protection.

This guide details the correct technique for loading the M1 Garand rifle, specifically addressing how to avoid 'Garand Thumb.' It emphasizes the 'bladed hand' method, a crucial technique for safe and efficient loading demonstrated by the speaker. Proper execution involves a swift, decisive motion to seat the en-bloc clip while protecting the thumb from the forward-moving bolt.
