A little unheard of to see someone walk away from one hit of 10mm like with 2 or three hits of the 9mm. The only thing that matters the most is penetration. Stopped bullets in their terminal ballistic stage is like a shitting fat vs a solid turd in your underwear when a 10mm comes to play. Oh, well can't tell some people anything & all their analysis articulates their desired outcome to keep mythical minds secure.

[@opinionsvary]

You can over achieve easier with .40 caliber. It's just a matter of powder vs bullet weight. 138 gr can exceed 1,800 fps in 40S&W. 10mm can take 180gr just as far. 9mm in a 130gr or 158gr aren't all that remarkable, 164gr - 180gr probably be impossible. Why waste time on a insufficient caliber round?

No one doubts a 10mm has more stopping power. But, 1) Your accuracy will drop, and hits matter more than noise. 2) It's well over $1 per round for a decent 10mm which limits practice. 3) It's a far less common round, so good luck when supply dwindles or society breaks down.

[@johnandrewserranogarcia7223]

"It's a far less common round," I hear this silly excuse all the time. The fact that there are less guns shooting it also means that the supply dwindles down slower. In the last couple of ammo shortages we saw that the first ammo to disappear from shelves were the most popular rounds. People buying uncommon guns were able to find ammo for their guns on shelves after the common calibers had already run out. The .41 magnum, 5.7x28mm, .357 SIG, etc. people were having an easier time in the early stages of the shortages than 9mm, .45 acp, 38 spl people. What this tells us is that if you cared so much about supply dwindling then you'd buy multiple guns in a variety of calibers.

Why it looks burnt in the gel. When the squishy stuff goes back to shape, it raises the pressure. It's called *adiabatic heating*. Molecules in hot gasses are farther apart and less dense (that's how hot air balloons work). If you squish the molecules together, rapidly, they they heat up, like an air compressor or diesel engine. The opposite is when uncompressing a gas. When you spray canned air on your hand, the gasses take energy from you (feels cold).

If that is in fact M1152 ammunition in the 9mm, something to consider is that it can be found in bulk, on-line, and often on sale at a reasonable price. A long barreled pistol will get good velocity out of it. For defense in the woods, the 9mm that you already know and practice a lot with, and can shoot accurately and quickly, is probably a better choice for you than a 10mm or other big-bore that you can't shoot as well with. There's a good study of actual results against bear attacks that shows that any decent cartridge can, and has done the job with a high success rate.

Dieseling is when the block catches fire under pressure from a bullet meplate.

[@einarhornraiser9019]

I kinda figured even particularly spicy 9x19 still wouldn't have the "authority" of 10mm. Still a lot of fun to watch! This channel and Tools & Targets are my favourites for cartridge performance. Additionally, I feel like if you retire the sand box, you should replace it with modeling clay!

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

I'd like to see crono numbers on that +p9 and 40 cal. Maybe even full test

[@MontanaTonyy]

Your videos remind me why the Geneva Convention exist 😂

[@deltab9768]

Thanks for doing a thin steel test! I’m buying a shipping container (slightly thicker than 1/16” walls) and was wondering whether it would happen to block normal handgun calibers. I’m going to say no, unless it was something really light like a .380 auto or .22lr. Luckily I’m not buying it for ballistic protection anyway.

[@tallcool1jeff]

Come on that first shot with the 9 + p hit a knot in the wood block you should do that shot over😮

[@OberGefreiterZ]

i love that sand scenario...its my everyday problem :D

[@charlescouncill]

I like the sandbox!

[@rickykurtz516]

What about +P+ 9mm ? Ricky from IBM

[@kevinrichardson8859]

+p+ 9mm is a whole nother level! 🔥

[@egregiousblunder5395]

Chasing your tail trying to compete with properly loaded 10mm. I know, done these experiments myself with custom hand loaded ammo. I tossed in .357 Sig into the mix as well, that's one caliber a lot of people sleep on if they want a real deal +P+ "9mm".

[@midgepfeffer711]

If you like your fingers I would suggest you reconsider +P+ out of a Glock...or real .10mm loads out of a Glock.

[@egregiousblunder5395]

@@midgepfeffer711 Shot many Ranger T series 127gr +P+ out of a G17, was never an issue. The unsupported barrel claims were with .40's mostly.

[@Daniel-qe8qe]

​@midgepfeffer711 a service duty pistol would have no problem with it

[@ewpoirier]

The first of the 9mm went through a hard knot in the piece lumber slowing it down considerably.

[@meanman6992]

Try a 16 GAUGE mild steel plate behind the 1/16” plate, space them out.

[@Handlethis6513]

I would like to see a comparison between pressure treated lumber to non treated and tight grain non treated to average pressure treated. My bet that the tight grain non treated would outperform the average pressure treated.

Good stuff , great voice for radio or yt

[@Scott-kc5fg]

I like your channel and the different tests. Did you try using Raid for the queen ant? Lol...

[@aarongodderidge2239]

I like the sand and concrete tests. Forget the haters I say keep it up great content!

[@gooddad1975]

great channel

[@Rangergeo85]

I was told the box of complaints was full. Lol

[@davidelzinga9757]

I think you should replace the 6” sand box with a dump truck full of sand just to troll people at this point

[@ChatBot1337]

If only to go back in time.. I love 10mm, but I'm not about to switch the collection out at this point. Yes, Im lazy about how many calibers I keep around. But a few 10's are on the list as defensive toys.

[@HellsHitman]

Atta boy like your style

[@hoatzen7887]

legendary vid

[@JunkyardBashSteve]

feeling extra goofy with this video huh. I dig it

[@logoutjason4689]

editing is AMAZING 🤩

[@sinistersilverado965]

+P is nothing, I shoot +P+

[@timclaus8313]

But I don't believe any pistol is factory rated for +P+, as there is no SAAMI standard for the loading.

[@MG-lh5tw]

considering most 10mm out there are basically a taller 40 cal i gotta say that 9mm +p handled itself well..

[@user-sx9tt1bf6w]

Those first +p rounds hit a knot in the wood which showed them down
