I wonder how it performs in a gel test.

Bet big time effect.

No, I wish there was a video of this ammo when they did the testing of it.

I still use Hornaday 147gr XTP’s in my Shield. For some reason that gun prefers heavier bullet weights.
The 9mm civil defense lacked penetration depth in gel but
I would like to test the civil defense ammo on a thawed turkey to see the results. 9mm civil defense zooms at 2000fps and I wonder how that energy expends when hitting something that isn't as pliable as ballistic gel.

Any plans to try the Steinl ammo?
I use the Remington Ultimate Defense also in my .380 bodyguard.

If the gun shops around me open back up, and if they have it.

I will be amazed if that gets 12” penetration...heck, I have my doubts if it will beat 10”.
I’ll stick with 147grHST in most of my 9mm's.

I just checked checked soss and GrabAGun and neither carry this brand, SGammo is still closed to new orders and sight is shut down. I'm definitely interested in this as the expansion is awesome and the price is really decent for carry ammo.

This changed my mind about the XTP bullet. I still have them in my .45 XDs but am going to switch to the Federal HSTs . The .45 XTP gave close to same results. The XTP works great in the .380 because of the fact that it doesn't expand as much as most other ammo.
As far as the ammo in the story , I wouldn't use it.

Great video papa, makes me second guess my ammo choice now, thanks for posting it.
I’ve seen a lot of videos like this lately makes me just wanna stick to federal HST for all my PP ammo.

Between HST, Gold Dot, and Ranger-T (GP branded as “PDX-1”), you really can’t go wrong. The differences between them is minimal, terminal-performance wise.
Leave the gimmick rounds for the gullible.
Caliber has a lot to do with a projectiles performance and a certain bullet should not be discounted because of 1 calibers test.
I mentioned in a post above about civil defense ammo having mixed results in 9mm but if you look up 10mm results with this same brand bullet it shows a devastating round.
Not all bullet's are created equal when it comes to different caliber's because bullet weight and velocity make a huge difference in how it will react when it hits a target.
