Best Pistol Caliber Carbine Hollow Point?

[@livefree5997]

My stern defense AR9 has cycled many different brands of HPs with no problems. Including golden saber 124gr +P bonded rounds.

[@TrueSighted]

The coating is nickel, in order to aid lubricity in the guns feeding mechanism. They cover the brass case and the bullet itself.

[@mattd603]

Where have you been?

[@SteelPhoenix78]

Excellent review video! I’ve just gotten an Aero Precision EPC-9 complete upper & stripped lower that I put together, and I have to sheepishly admit that I was oblivious to the problems 9mm AR barrels have with hollow point. Had I known, I would have looked into options for barrels with feed ramps like from Macon Armory rather than sticking with the Aero Precision barrel in their complete upper. That said, though the Sig Sauer 147 grain hollow point fed horribly in my EPC yesterday at the range, the Norma FMJ I used fed great for the most part (I chalk the few rounds that didn’t up to teething troubles with a brand new gun). So, I’m eager to try their MHP rounds as soon as I can get some!

[@dmh6275]

Man it’s been a long time since I seen a ammo review. Thanks, nice job.

[@supermoon1430]

I can’t stand the new 25 round boxes holow point that are crazy expensive I just want a 50 round box with a reasonable price so I can shoot some and have enough to leave in my mags

I have two pistol caliber carbines 1 Marlin camp carbine in .45 from years ago great gun and I reload the caliber. Also have spare parts for it.. And a Henry Big Boy in 357/38 special both great. No more stuff for me. I already have plenty I I don't get to shoot as much as I would like to. People are sitting on their ammo I have plenty. So I go when possible

[@YogaNinja76]

Nice review. How it compares to Lehigh defense ammo which is Cooper. Extreme penetrator and defense.

[@kiddough1984]

Do you prefer the CMMG or the Wilson Combat AR9? I know the Banshee is about $500 less than the WC. I prefer the WC.

[@GodFamilyGolf]

My fm9 by foxtrot mike had feeding issues yesterday at the range, seemed to do better with Winchester but horrible with aguila brand.

[@oveson88]

Dang this helped so much. thank you for this video.

[@PierceyeG]

Here in the middle of March of '21. Twenty-two dollars for a box of HPs sounds like mythology right now. $39 for these at my local store. $31/box of 50 range loads.

[@RKHarm24]

Since I don't own a PCC, I had no idea about feeding issues. This makes lots of sense. I saw a gel test and I was highly interested. The Norma ammo is not barrel length dependent. A Sig 290 actually penetrated a little farther than a G17 in bare Clear Ballistics 20% gel.

[@TWANGnBANG]

ClearBallistics is a really cool product. I’ve used it many, many times. However, I’ve come to suspect it penalizes certain bullet designs because it is so much more elastic than either living tissue or FBI gelatin.

[@dsanderspnw4984]

Interesting results. I've been using Winchester Ranger 115gr as my go to self defense rounds in both my PCC and my EDC pistol without any issues. Unfortunately they are damn hard to come by anymore. Thanks for sharing!

TNB, great vid as usual. And btw, I never saw a review on the plate carrier that you revealed when you did the IFAK vid.

[@TWANGnBANG]

Sadly, they discontinued it right away because they just couldn’t keep the cost down to a reasonable amount.

[@jeffryhall1325]

My PC9 runs all ammo fine, with the glock magazine.

[@edrosa3485]

As someone prepping a CZ Scorpion for home defense, I've never thought of whether a pistol defense round will run through my carbine with a longer barrel.

[@TWANGnBANG]

The issue is the feed ramp on any firearm, so it’s good to test any round with your combo to make sure it works.

[@user-po4bn3gi1u]

my scorpion gets jammed with hollow point sporadically. I'm back to ar-15 for actual defense. I like the scorpion otherwise.

[@herpshnerp]

Too bad the only cycling issue I've ever experienced in any semiauto pistol was a glock 19 gen 5. Known for having a short throat (look it up I am not the only one) causing failures to go into full battery once every 100-200 rounds. Switched to a M&P 2.0 because of this as I didn't feel comfortable relying my life on those odds. Blind 100% confidence in glock with those statements is dangerous, and I love my glocks otherwise

[@TWANGnBANG]

No blind confidence. I probably have more rounds through Glocks in the past year than most have through all of their firearms combined lifetime. Don't forget what I do for a living.

[@herpshnerp]

@@TWANGnBANG well if I would have listened to this video I would have assumed I had bad ammo, instead I did research and figured out with a local gunsmith the throat was indeed short compared to my other 9mms causing the malfunctions. All I'm saying is any brand is capable of having inherent issues and to be mindful of these, dont automatically assume a malfunction cant be the glocks fault. You are a professional reviewer who receives t&e guns, accessories and sponsorships. Bias is inevitable

[@herpshnerp]

@@TWANGnBANG dont get me wrong I'm not bashing you, or saying your opinions aren't valid, just that either personal or professional bias is inevitable and as a reviewer you have to be mindful of that. I work in medicine so we are hyper sensitive to bias in medical journals and stidues; its unavoidable but important to scrutinize in the peer review process so that's where I'm coming from. Regardless my point was simply to say that no manufacturer is immune from problems here and there. I own many glocks and of course they have one of the best track records, but if it's a tool I'm going to trust my life to if I experience a malfunction I first assume it's the gun and rule that out first, in my case, it was a rare instance of overly tight tolerance leading to not running 147gr HSTs reliably. Anyways just rambling at this point, carry on

I know that's not what this video is about but Why just why? 1 minute in and, "if there's an issue it has to be the ammo not the Glock" and this is why people think the Glock is so "superior" because if there's an issue its always something else's fault. I don't know about you but I wouldn't exactly call a gun reliable if it can't run a particular brand of ammo.

45ACP is a bit of a different beast than 9mm to start with. Even ball ammo has a pretty high width to length ratio compared to 9mm.
