Also 9mm really don't do well for stopping a armored vehicle operators when a bullet makes it inside the can. You may want to visit the hotel where Dillinger had a shoot out with the police & look around at all the FMJ damage the cops did. Suppose one were to have hit him in the lower abdomen or leg, it's beyond doubtful he would've escaped as he did. There was an account to where a 158gr 38 special LRN killed a uncaged bear on a rampage in a city once. Seriously doubt 9mm has what it takes but to stop women & children. 9mm is like a BB wish come true for a lot of people. If not for JHPs law enforcement wouldn't have gone that route if not for women on the force.

[@knurlgnar24]

That looks like M1152 NATO spec 9mm ammo. It's good stuff. I'd much prefer that over a 10mm due to the significantly lower recoil. I'd rather put 4 9mm on target than 2 10mm in the same amount of time. It's probably not ideal for Grizzly protection but the 9mm has successfully been used for that purpose, and hunting guides agree that something you can comfortably shoot is more important than missing with a hand cannon.

@@XRakkgruntX Standard Glock 20 in 10mm is 15 rounds vs 17 rounds for a Glock 17. If that difference in capacity comes into play, you have bigger issues to deal with.

@@Daniel-qe8qe - Glock 20 carries 15 rounds.

[@robertgantry2118]

@@XRakkgruntX Here's my reason for 10mm: There are people out there with overactive adrenaline glands or who are hopped up on d_ru-gs. They don't know they've been un-lived, and can keep coming at you for a few seconds. Best to have impact energy. I'd go for .44 mag but I'm afraid that some DA would start calling me Dirty Harry to sway the jury in a self-defense prosecution.

Considering most 10 mm cartridges are loaded 40 caliber capacities or less, that 10 mm is not anywhere near its maximum knockdown power. I guarantee it

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.

[@wodenswheelgun3278]

Instead of getting rid of the sand test why not use different thicknesses to see how each caliber can make it through.

[@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!

If you want to keep the sand, maybe do a stack of USPS shipping boxes (PM Small FR's) filled with sand, that'd give you a series of 1&3/4ths thick boxes (still tape-able!) you could stack up to gauge penetration with increments.

[@rashiro]

Love the video, great style and very entertaining. Good stuff to see comparing 9 vs 10. The thing I think needs to be compared more often isn't 9 vs 10, it's 10 v .40 in typical handguns. I am not sure 10mm out of a 4.6 is getting the legs to be anything other than .40 that costs more. The difference between .40/10mm out of my Glock 40 is really significant, and ballistic data shows 10mm really picks up at 5" or longer barrels.

Just started the video- maxxed out 9mm will never beat properly loaded 10mm. You can cherry pick a 9mm load to beat a watered down 10mm that is nothing more than a .40s&w in disguise (powerwise), but then that's not a fair comparison. Factory 9mm from a 5" barrel maxxes out in the 500ft-lbs range of energy, while 10mm comes in at 800ft-lbs. Most of us know this...

[@guitarlessonswith4480]

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.

[@areyoutheregoditsmedave]

this sounds like a comment a bear would make 🤔

[@gabek1381]

Devils advocate: in the early days of COVID 10mm was easier to get than 9mm. The price argument and the accuracy argument are legitimate.

[@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.

I don't know if you know this but most 10mm is actually under loaded then originally when created. I believe there are 2 manufacturers that do load to specs and underwood ammo is one of them. Depending on the ammo used it could be loaded to almost the exact same specs as the 9mm +p. Anyway just some food for thought if you want a new video idea. Thanks for all the awesome content!
