My only complaint is that Paul often says he could talk for an hour about a subject but never does.

[@DarylNorthrop]

Oh but he does, and he does it better than most 👍👍

[@ScottKenny1978]

Watch his rebuttal video. That was an hour and a bit long, and was the best dressing-down I have ever seen. Though I did want to run for cover at the last couple minutes, he was *pissed off in the worst way*

[@thomasraahauge5231]

Emmanuel: only assholes shoots at a deer and doesn't kill it with the first shot. Doesn't matter if you use a BB gun or an 88 millimeter FLAK cannon. If you can take the deer out in the first shot 11 out of 10 times or better with a .25 ACP, then you go do that. If you can't even take out the deer with the first shot with a fucking anti aircraft cannon, stay home, or at least learn how to shoot before you hunt anything but flies with a fly swatter.

[@borisbuliak3626]

I've hunted 4 deer all with my 7mm-08 am almost 50 and haven't hunted in almost 20 yrs, Paul is shot more deer(in different circumstances, closer and private lands, farms) with pistols than I and twelve other guys in here combined will ever kill.

[@Skyfighter64]

I get the feeling that he wasn't using that as his primary weapon. For some unknown reason, the first shot (may not have been his, maybe it was his son's first time deer hunting) failed to kill the deer, and he used the sidearm to kill the deer both humanely, and without losing any extra meat. Given the distance he said the shot was from within 10 yards, I doubt the deer was standing.

Having a very closely similar background to Paul, I use it Speer gold dots in all of my EDC... From exotics to common rounds, a lot of tests with their loads and I am convinced... plus the fact that almost every single department uses Speer CCI for their loads, if you do happen to get into a self defense situation, I will attes from prior trials, your bullets will come into question, so if you use those deadly black talon ultra RIP death Ray bullets, be prepared to explain yourself, but if you carry what's good for the goose is good for the gander it makes it that much easier... Plus the other ways of using defensive ammo tomato tomatoe to each their own...

I've been 124gr HST for a while. ShootingTheBull410 impressed me.

[@UniteForgetLeftRight]

It would be cool if Paul and him did a collaborative video. I ended up with the 147 because it was on sale and the 124 was out of stock. The bull gave high marks to both.

[@flyer7773]

Joe Morrell I use 147 grn HST and 150 grn HST myself. Love the ammo!

[@johnharbour4936]

Shooting the bull convinced me too. The 124gr HST is what I choose for my smaller sized barrel Glock 43. The 147gr feel a bit too snappy coming out of the 3" barrel I think.

[@justinv3080]

HST 124 for me too in all barrel lengths

[@rob.3575]

For my Shield I also went with what ShootingTheBull410 came up with,but 147gr standard pressure HST in my case.It's a little snappy but less so than 124+p gold dots.At $19.95 per 50 rd box @sgammo.com it's also rather affordable.

[@akfanfortyseven8375]

I love this guy. His presentation and articulation...liking it.

[@mbnv99234]

Hahaha it's a SUPER coincidence that you posted this video !! Just yesterday I was looking for new "cheaper" carry ammo for my 9mm Glocks ( 17 and 26 both Gen 5's ) and I noticed that the Remington green + white box JHP 115 Gr was like $32 for a 100 pack at Walmart. I picked it up instantly and became my everyday and duty ammo. For the price, you can't beat it !

[@jasonseaton6895]

Thank you Paul Harrell. I wasn't sure if 115 grain 9mm hollow points were good enough for self-defense, but after watching this video I am convinced 115 grain JHP's are just fine. I used to carry heavier grain 9mm JHP's, but I now carry Hornady Critical Defense standard pressure 115 grain XTP hollow points. Btw, I love all your videos! They are the most informative and entertaining gun videos on KZbin!

Paul you are the best. That being said, I would like to make a request. Would you please do a presentation on one handed shooting. Dominant hand, non dominant hand, stance etc. I have to amit that this is something I do not practice enough. And it is a skill that I believe could be very useful in a self defence situation. Thanks for your consideration. And I can never thank you enough for your service to our great nation. You are a testament to our great PNW!

[@craigbenz4835]

I'd like to see that also. Something about how to shoot, not what to shoot.

Thanks Paul, for this video. I am one of your viewers who asked about this topic. You confirmed that its best to practice with the ammo that you carry, and with fixed sights to find the ammo that gives you the desired impact point and group. Regards - Terry

[@justinv3080]

The 90 gr XTP in 380 works well in all barrel lengths including 2.75 inch if you get a good loading, some are hotter than others. The precision one load in Shootingthebull410 ammo quest did very well and passed the IWBA denim ordinance gel test

[@rob.3575]

Yep,XTPs in a small .380 work very well.

[@xringarcher1440]

Shootingthebull410 is one of the greatest ballistic testing KZbinrs, wish he woulda kept up with testing. You’re right, his findings on the 2.75” .380 showed pretty much any ammo loaded w/ XTP bullets is the way to go. Way better than FMJ.

[@JoshBenware]

Thomas Raahauge it doesn't generally bother me, but that one part of the video 3:25 where you couldn't here what Paul was saying...but Yeah, I get it. It's a range.

[@thomasraahauge5231]

Josh: Perhaps we need to learn to lip read?

[@texasbeast239]

He was probably saying, "Remington Green and White box Jacketed Hollow Point..."

[@GunSam]

Silvertips are what I use in my LCP .380. It was the best overall cartridge I ever tested in that particular gun, feeds the most reliably, has good expansion too. The only drawback is that the penetration isn't that great. I get a mean muzzle velocity of 926 FPS with that ammo for 162 FPE. Accuracy is good too, I find that in the LCP, cartridges that come in around 160 FPE seem to be the most accurate, but hyper-velocity ammo looks like buckshot all over the target.

[@MPGunther1]

The Silvertips are old school but they certainly do the job

[@GunSam]

From what I read, Silvertips for handgun calibers came out in 1979! I believe that in general, Silvertips came out in general for rifles in 1939.

[@sofakingjewish]

If you want penetration make sure it's full metal jacket, if you want expansion make sure it's hallow points. I think it's a trade off 1 or the other but not both for lower powered ammo. That's my understanding, perhaps I'm missing a more nuanced view?

[@GunSam]

That's the exact truth. In Cartridges like .380 ACP or standard pressure .38 special, you often get okay penetration with not good expansion, or good expansion with poor penetration. That's just the cruel truth with cartridges that come in under 200 ft lbs of energy. One good middle of the road performer I tested was the Winchester White Box/ or Super X in .38 special and .380 ACP. The lead alloy was just hard enough to get good penetration, but just soft enough to get a little expansion, just enough to slow them down in fluid barriers.

[@warriorcaste4304]

I want to see a meat test of the 38 Spl +P 158 gr. SWCHP.

[@BPS10-Ga]

PinkOld. My .45 acp Handloads with 185gr. XTPs out performed 10mm Underwood with 180gr. gold dot.

[@northof50now]

I've tested the Gold Dot and [as a rule] really like them. Unfortunately, at 10mm velocities, they tend to collapse on themselves and end up over penetrating the target mediums I've used. Don't get me wrong, I really like the Underwood stuff. I just wish they would switch the 10mm stuff to the original Hornady XTP bullet. It is much tougher. It's held together nicely up to 1400fps [180gr].

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

FWIW, Underwood definitely still has several loads topped with the Hornady XTP bullet, including 155 grain, 180 grain, and 200 grain loadings. They're all in stock, and their prices are not at all unreasonable! www.underwoodammo.com

Is there any way you could do a video on 9x18 for EDC or defensive purposes Paul? I own a Makarov and I'm interested in knowing. Thanks

[@usergonemad]

Might be outdated but Tim at MAC proved what a truly fine firearm that is. I'd like to see such a presentation from Paul.

[@GunFunZS]

The short answer is you're gonna want the Hornady ammo. In theory 9 x 18 should match the performance of 380 , but in available loadings it just doesn't . I might be out of date, but last I checkedHornady was the only available9 mm Makarovammothat offered adequate penetrationand some expansion.

[@stevensparks3126]

I think the Makarov is not fully appreciated. The Russians have made a few note worth weapons. They have also had some success in ammo innovation. The 3 Makarovs I've been able to shoot were very accurate and reliable, Shame it's kind of an old ball caliber to find,
