Grizzly Day 2.0 continued: 9mm 124 grain JHP testing in 3 barrel lengths

Better than the .40S&W cartridges did, but I think I'll spend my money elsewhere. Thanks for doing that testing for us!

9mm is full of good options that perform well in short barrels.

Terrible results for self defense. I’m sticking w/Xtreme Defenders. Overall they are my favorites. Nice thorough test.

I have some Winchester NATO 124 grain stand pressure rated for 1200 fps and I have some Hornady American Gunner XTP +p 124 grain rated for 1175 fps. I know NATO rounds are loaded a little hotter but what makes ammo +p and +p+ I thought it was velocity how can one ammo have a higher velocity than a +p round and be standard pressure. I know the difference is only 25 fps but feeding your firearm a steady diet of +p and + p+ ammo puts excessive wear on it. So my question is should I limit how much NATO ammo I use and is 124 grain ammo rated for 1175 fps or more considered +p. That grizzly ammo looks like the projectile is a XTP.

Need a longer inch barrel and a maybe some delay mechanism to get the 1900fps.. when working to max potential they just dump energy and grenade .. like a cz 7" SBR or an even longer carbine

Fail trough clothing! Great for nude beach 🤣😂

[@NorthwoodsTesting]

Fail in clear ballistics anyways.
