512ft lbs from a 9mm? Whoa that’s hot stuff.

[@ToolsandTargets]

Mhmm

[@josephpacchetti5997]

Indeed. 👍

[@carlosmorris4510]

Very good 9mm!

[@theshapeexists]

That exceeds a few loadings of Underwood's 45acp +p offerings. Smoking hot 9mm

[@Rick-hx1ne]

Feels like a 40 cal 😮 lol

[@billdye3530]

Just don't get married to Evil. She'll take everything. 😂

[@ToolsandTargets]

😆😆😆

[@elliottscott6179]

Twice.

[@billdye3530]

​@@ToolsandTargetsI really like the force from the hit with the G17 cause it lifted the gel up more than most 10mm ammo did. Plus it stayed together better than I expected. You got the right shirt on! 👕😂

[@ToolsandTargets]

[@kevindutton3676]

Corbon was the stuff to have in the late 90s when I became a man. Glad to see they’re still making man-stoppers today. Also where you live is gorgeous!

[@ToolsandTargets]

Their stuff has been pretty impressive.😎👊

[@johnmatthes8608]

I too remember carrying 115 gr 1350 fps 466ft/lb 9mm and loved 'em. Against departmental policy too (off duty.) How much for these per round? Thanks for the vids👍

[@kevinrichardson8859]

Hahaha...me too. My agency at the time used federal hydra shok 124 grain +p+ out of Sig Sauer P226(Jefferson County Police Department..Louisville Kentucky)...then went on to the County Attys Office Warrant division and switched to glock 21!!! Those were the days...corbon was loaded HOT!!! 95-early 2000s​@johnmatthes8608

[@cgsimons1187]

Another one of their bullets that might be interesting to see is their 185gr .45 ACP +P. It should be moving along pretty fast for a .45 bullet and hit with substantial energy. Though I'm uncertain if it will expand to the diameter of the more modern HST.

[@kevinrichardson8859]

@@cgsimons1187 it will likely expand and fragment if it's their old Sierra bullet 185 grain at or around 1150fps

[@3rdpig]

That is some pretty impressive performance! And it's nice to see a company that honestly represents their product. I'd take the Powrball if I had a choice, but I'd be happy with either.

[@ToolsandTargets]

Agreed. Very cool to see the little differences they get with the different insert material.

[@hoffpbass]

Holy 🐄 🎉 458 FPE from a sub compact will put a thumpin' om a bad guy. Wow.

[@ToolsandTargets]

Yeah, these last few Corbon rounds have been pretty impressive.

[@kevinrichardson8859]

That's almost 357sig energy out of a subcompact very impressive

[@PassivePortfolios]

It's almost 357 mag. territory.

[@hoffpbass]

@@PassivePortfolios definitely from the full size barrel.

[@michaelbarfield528]

Great review! Corbon has always made great cartridges especially their 135 grain .40 S&W which according to the book "Stopping Power" is a devastating cartridge when employed by LEO's in mid 1990's.

[@ToolsandTargets]

Appreciate that!😎👊

[@boostimalaka1]

That was an effective round that was advertised as +P on the box. That Ammunition was discontinued as it was too hot for that 135 grain bullet.

[@raleighthomas3079]

I still have a few rounds of that stuff! G-23 loved them!

[@timrobinson6573]

I shot some Federal Hi Shok 9BP into my pool and that's what it looked like expanded. Old style hollow point construction.

[@ToolsandTargets]

Good stuff.😎👍

[@PassivePortfolios]

Federal perfected the Hydrashock over the years so now it is a darn good bullet. Still popular with LEO agencies.

[@cappinteddy3228]

​@@PassivePortfoliosyou're thinking of HST, albeit Hydra-Shok is the predecessor to that round

[@JAB671]

As a 52 year old who grew up seeing 'Conjunction Junction', I'm Just a Bill', 'Interjections' and the rest of the School House Rock shorts in between Saturday morning cartoons that were still worth watching I like your shirt! To the best if my recollection I have never tried CorBon in any caliber. Looks lije some good stuff.

[@ToolsandTargets]

Thank you sir! There will never be a Saturday morning experience like that again!😎👊

[@cgsimons1187]

Corbon does know how to make some high velocity bullets that are pretty much guaranteed to expand. This would make a fine carry round for a compact 9mm pistol that can handle +P loads.

[@ccoop2416]

Nice to see ammo properly loaded and consistent 👍✌️🇺🇸

[@charlesmorgan1879]

Good stuff ! Like the shirt. Spring temps are crazy 80 & humid one day cool/cold rain the next, at 52 & breezy...

[@ToolsandTargets]

Thank you sir. That's the truth. This was made on Wednesday. Had to cut the grass today and it was nice and dry.

Corbon has made top tier ammunition for decades. Thanks for the video.

[@ToolsandTargets]

😎👊

[@cbroz7492]

..I remember when CorBon was sold in blister packs..worked at a gunstore in Pompano Beach in 1986 and thus was new at the time

[@davidaustin4407]

If evil comes calling. I am grabbing the AR or Shotgun but this round looks promising. Nice expansion to ruin a gremlin's day

[@ToolsandTargets]

I know that's right!😎👊

[@raleighthomas3079]

Agreed! If it’s serious use a serious tool given a choice. That’s nice warm stuff for a sidearm! Corbon has made great freedom seeds for decades. I’ve carried many different calibers over the years, it’s always performed well.

[@joethearcticfox]

I've been waiting for someone to review this ammo for years! I bought 50 rounds when it first came out and I've never seen it again. Mine has nickel plate cases. Very interesting.

[@ToolsandTargets]

Nice. They have this insert stuff figured out.

[@jonbumcrot2934]

That ammo is some good stuff. 9mm loads that make 500 ftlbs are rare.

Nice! Impressive on the velocity again. I’d like more penetration but I think I’d be ok having these in the mag. Corbon has been getting it done these past couple of tests. Great video as always my friend 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ToolsandTargets]

Thank you sir. I have some of their copper stuff still to test out.😎👊

[@donakahorse]

that's some good performance, nice energy dump, consistent. Looks good for urban settings. My closest neighbor here in the city is about 40' away to the close wall, so ammo that dumps it's energy fast is a must in my sidearm. Thanks brother. I'm impressed with corbon

[@ToolsandTargets]

It slapped the block with some authority.😎👍

[@scarifrougeone7225]

Nice, cool ammo from CorBon really nice test. The MC9 makes another great performance. That little Tool works great CANIK Rocks. As advertised right there good commentary and test. Good stuff there my friend. Urban Response is a good pick as well. Thanks for sharing and be safe. ⭐️⭐️🇺🇸⭐️⭐️👍

[@ToolsandTargets]

Love this little 9mm pistol.😎👊

[@furmanmackey5479]

If I was limited to the 9 Minimal for defensive usage, I'd be all over the Corbon loading. It was Corbon, back in the 1970s, that got the .38Spl off its knees. It looks like Corbon may have done the same for the 9 Minimal.

[@user-tn7hc4ww3j]

Thank you brother for the informative review.

[@rayowens995]

Great stuff Tools!! Thanks and as previously stated I carry the older CorBon 125 +P in my 9 EDC’s. I am very glad that you enjoy doing this so much!! Stay safe.

[@coreymerrill3257]

Ohh now that's the good stuff! How does this one do from a carbine? Home defense is a situation where this is what you want to see. Let petals sheer off, let jackets separate after 8-10 inches in target so the mangled bits reach 12-15 inches. This is exactly the type of thing that reduces potential for grievous collateral damage . It's basic physics . Low weight( low mass /density) ,aerodynamically unsound fragments slow down faster, lose momentum faster and carry less inertia . Meaning it's less likely to punch through walls , what does make it through will be far less energetic than an intact bullet, even if fully Expanded .

[@neilhartigan7456]

Evil is always among us. it’s just that we don’t notice until it’s too late

[@williambaker1753]

When I saw the lowe 1400 fps coming from a 4" barrel I knew they were going to be some hard hitters when a ammo company achieves less penetration with more velocity the energy dumb is great. I don't think these are for me I want penetration 12" minimum 18" to 24" is perfect in gel. I will give it to core bond the velocity's they put on the box is the velocity's you get in the real world I respect them just for that alone. A nother great video I'm definitely looking forward to a lot more this summer. I will be on the range all day tomorrow my trigger finger is itchy and I need to scratch it.

[@ToolsandTargets]

Nice! I got a bunch of editing and gel cookin to do tomorrow. 😆

[@tommyallee6949]

Very nice. Im going to stick with my, "If it aint broke dont fix it" 124 HST...

[@harryanderson7282]

I saw today that the Ballistic Machinist guy said that he's got a 10mm in the works doing 1,500 out of a 3.8" barreled Springfield. Said it was a +/- 130 gr bullet that's supposed to be deliverijg 700+ foot pounds of energy.

Still remember back in the 90s when I first discovered Cor-Bon and thinking how insane it was that they were chronographed at not just supersonic velocities, but at near .357 magnum velocities. I stuffed my Kahr MK9 with them back then. In fact it wasn't until I switched out my Kahr for a SIG P365, that I even looked at new defense ammo. Carrying new ammo now but I may go back to it.

[@ToolsandTargets]

Some good hot stuff for sure.
