9mm Ammo For Dummies | How To Pick The Right Ammo | The BASICS!

[@SectionChief]

Not all pistols are rated for plus +p or +p+ ammunition and it's usually stated in the pistol owners manual. In the wrong pistol, constant use of higher pressure ammo will wear out your parts much faster or even 'break' your firearm. Also if I missed you mentioning it, different brands, weights, types of ammo don't all have the same point of impact, especially the farther away the target is, so newly initiated shooters may not realize that their accuracy problems sometimes is that they are buying and shooting various & random ammo types from range session to range session..

[@dariuskincaid]

I mentioned that first part but missed that last one on accuracy. Good point! 🙏🏽

[@deebee4575]

Sure but who's practicing with +p? I only use it as SD ammo.

[@professionalpookie]

​@@deebee4575 excellent comment!!!

[@kylestartin5276]

Awesome! As someone who is new to firearms and learning about the technology I really appreciated the video and the way broke it down. Thank you so much!

[@nickhyslop5743]

Hallow points are like the 5.56 heavily velocity dependent. If you’re not running +P or a full size, 4 inch barrel and above don’t run anything heavier than 115 gr. If you’re running a barrel length less than 4 inches don’t use anything heavier than 124 gr +P. If you go with 135 gr or 147 gr it must be +P and a full size handgun. The heavier the bullet the hotter it needs to be loaded in order to reach ideal velocity for peak performance expansion. This is why barrel length is critical. If you don’t get the expansion it might as well be a FMJ. When it comes to manufacture in the FBI’s testing they determine that Hornady Critical Duty135 gr +P out performed the rest this is with their requirement that it be able to stay in tact after specific barrier penetration. If you’re running a compact then 124 gr +P is ideal. If you’re not looking for barrier penetration IE car glass go with Critical Defense. Spear Gold dot and Federal HST’s are also a good second choice. The other brands are known not to have reliable expansion. Second fire a couple boxes of your choice through you handgun to make sure it feeds properly. Not really a issue these days unless it’s .45 acp

I appreciate you bro! 🙏🏽

[@michaelmcfarland8837]

Now this is a very good and proper instructional video on what really matters. Performance in the gel tests does matter but not before finding out what your pistol can and cannot do. Very well done, my friend. Education is everything- especially when it comes to self defense. Thank you.

[@takumifujiwara9181]

About to pick up my very first firearm a Beretta 92XI and this video cleared up all my ammo questions as a brand new gun owner! tyvm!

[@AkinCarni]

I came here being a complete noob, now I feel like I know it all about 9mm! thanks! keep it up!

[@friggingriffin3501]

“Can you die from getting shot with a full metal jacket? Helll yeah!” 😂

[@dariuskincaid]

😂😂 yea it still hurts! Lol

[@GunGuy258]

Not me. 😂

[@Narsuitus]

Excellent presentation! Here are a few other things to consider: Flat-nose FMJ vs. Round-nose FMJ Full-Metal Jacket vs. Partial-Metal Jacket vs. Fragmenting Solid Core (solid copper, solid lead, solid hard-cast lead, solid polymer) Standard Pressure vs. Low Pressure (low recoil) vs. +P vs. +P + Casing material (brass, steel, aluminum) Match ammo vs. Batch ammo

[@freetoh8]

A single sentence in this video got you the thumbs up, bro. You finally explained the difference between critical duty and critical defense. Put those 2 rounds side by side on table and you cant tell the difference. I always figured it was the depth or cut of the hollow point.... i was wrong. Lol good vid, keep it up.

[@scottbrown8359]

[@josetheace]

New gun owner here! I recently got a Sig P320 X5 Legion and have shot about 200 rounds of Winchester 9mm 115 grain FMJ at the range and notice the barrel got really hot (I live in SoCal by acres of desert) and jammed once. I heard shooting higher grain might be better for reducing heat but i’m not sure how true that is lol. If anyone has a similar or same gun let me know what type of ammo you shoot!🤞💯

[@Smartinez8282]

Man you’re solid for this one, great info definitely picked up some knowledge on this one

Solid Presentation, Very Good Insights & Info, Thanks for the Knowledge💯

[@weirdmusicmixmaster]

Penetration performance matters a lot for home defense depending on how your house is built or how close you are to your neighbors, dont run the high penetration less expanding stuff if youre too close to the neighbors.

[@startduckin]

Bro you just earned notifications being turned on. Congratulations

[@dariuskincaid]

🙏🏽

[@CaptainYesz]

The weight you mention least recoil on 115 but actually it seems a lot of people mention 124 and 147 feel more like push and 115 feels like it is harder to control.

[@Mr.sidewayzzz]

Being a dummy my self, This video indeed did help lol. Nice to know what I’m shooting and what to look for next time🤝

Well explained. Although your Dicks Sporting Goods still sells ammo?!?! Dicks in south Florida long ago stopped, like 2020. Thanks for the video.

[@dariuskincaid]

Some do some don’t hit or miss lol

[@johnpena6771]

Hey brother what hollow points you running in your mc9??? Lmk please😭😭😭

[@dariuskincaid]

The mc9 pretty much eats it all. Lately been running either 124g JHPs or 124g HSTs. The mc9 can be kinda stiff out of the box so I always ran higher grain ammo and even running some +p ammo thru it to break it in and kinda never just left it at 124g. I’m porting it soon so we will see how she runs afterwards

[@cameronrautmann2761]

Preface: I'm not an ammunition expert, but a couple things wrong with your video from my research: 1: you shouldn't be using "bullet" as a standard definition of a "cartridge." 2: I think you may be mistaken regarding the bullet weight and penetration. Higher bullet weight does not mean more penetration, it's actually the opposite. Of course, that depends on your barrel length. Generally, for a 9mm handgun, the less weight = more penetration. And 3: in order for hollow points to expand the way they're meant to, you need less bullet weight. The heavier bullets don't expand as well due to their lower velocity.

[@edsongarcia5966]

Great vid man wish you would’ve made this years ago when I started to get into guns😂 but nonetheless solid info for people starting to get into guns.

Suuuuper useful, thank you brother!

Happy to help!

[@iamgvnzi6524]

Do you personally re zero your optics depending on what round you’re shooting? Or do you zero with you go to personal defense round and just leave it be when you’re training with range ammo

[@dariuskincaid]

I zero my pistols with the round I’m more likely to carry with it. Not sure if that’s the right way but it’s been good so far lol

Nope you can have both of each I believe 😂 I know.. confusing lol I did have to dig to find info on non bonded and bonded fmj back when I dug into it but it’s there

Do not run +P in yoir gun unless you know that it is rated to handle the extra pressure. Manufacturers will declare if compatible.

[@growing367]

7:15 115 8:10 9:30 +P

[@paulcunningham2859]

I buy what is on sell where ever that is. Walmart. Sportsman's warehous local gun stores.its not hard to find then i buy a box of two. Over time i get. Alot of ammo this way. Its not rocket science
