[@jackwalter4000]

I enjoy your vids. It’s a shame the viewers complain about weights/ barrel lengths ect. Some people just can’t be happy😑

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Appreciate you brother

[@Anubis78250]

It's not about being happy. It's about accurate information. Different target construction, barrel lengths, and bullet construction invalidate any useful comparison. When given results that are presented as a comparison, it is both natural and healthy to question methods. These variables invalidate any conclusions. These people didn't come here to be 'happy', they came looking for actual information and were disappointed.

[@crankygunreviews]

Viewers complain about everything- like we owe them everything they as when it’s free entertainment… if people want to have guys like us do testing they should donate. This is NOT a cheap hobby as Buckeye Ballistics can attest…

[@Anubis78250]

@@crankygunreviewsProblem is that it's not free, and viewers have every right to complain about anything they like. You don't get to dictate what anyone else should think about something. For some this may be a hobby, for others it's a business. What you're complaining about is a free market, you're just wrongly attributing it to ungrateful viewers. They could simply leave, instead they point out issues. It's human nature, people are pointing out what they would rather see. You can either take that free feedback and use it to improve your content that is competing for their time, or I suppose you can call them ungrateful and blame them for your standing in the market. As much as you don't owe them content, they don't owe you their time.

[@crankygunreviews]

@@Anubis78250 it is free for viewers. There is no fee to watch KZbin videos. They can choose to not watch anytime. No one is forcing them to watch. I am not trying to dictate what people think or write, but they make it seem like they have the right to tell you what to buy and what to show and get mad if you don’t. Explain to me how KZbin is not free to watch? You don’t even need an account to watch it- it only costs your time, and you can choose not to watch. Cool M1009 BTW, I love those trucks.

Hey thanks for the video. As a bowler and a firearm owner that owns 4 our of 6 of those calibers I appreciate it.

I agree. When you do these tests use the actual pistol and ammo you carry. Minus the FMJ, of course. Doing tests with borrowed and long barreled guns Tell you nothing if you don't carry it. The only person qualified to use guns other than his, is Paul Harrell. Who's going to argue with him??

[@atbsigma]

@@billss396 NOOOOOBODY! I completely agree with you there!

[@Jim-wr9iz]

Regarding clean-up. When we go to the farm to shoot, we always lay out Harbor Freight tarps - at the target area and the firing line to pick up brass. You can usually stake them to the ground with tent stakes. You may not be able to sweep up all the target debris, but you can the brass. Then unstake one end and the sides and lift as you go towards the unstaked side. Easy peasy clean-up.

[@billdye3530]

Impressive with 45acp & 10mm plus 40 did well. The 9mm didnt do as much as I expected. The 10mm Hi Point is doing well now. Future videos are going to be fun. Thanks. 👍🙏🎯

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

I think the 9mm was too fast and pointed to do much- at least that's my theory. Same reason I think .45 did more than the .40- because it's so wide and slow... (physics against somewhat brittle plastic)

[@kentuckywindage222]

For the compact 10mm try Grizzly 200gr, Buffalo Bore 200gr. and Underwood 155gr. The 200gr will run 1250 to 1275 and 155gr will run 1350 to 1400 fps from a Glock 29 Gen 4. That 155gr. Underwood load is loud and a rowdy little feller. Buffalo Bore will get about another inch or two penetration in gel but that 155gr has some energy. The Underwood 155gr is a XTP pretty positive and the Buffalo Bore is the same type bullet in my opinion but the Grizzly may be a Nosler. All function excellent with heavy clothing on clear gel. Probably the best 3 10mm rounds in my humble opinion.

My wife owns a bowling center, 38 lanes. We always have used balls and pins for sale at cheap prices. Check with your local center if you want more stuff to shoot. Also as pointed out below there are a lot of different materials used in today's balls. The ones in the video are all cheap plastic balls.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

So uh, how cheap is cheap? Because I only payed $4 per ball (talked down from $5) from some lady who used them en masse as lawn ornaments. Curious what you guys sell used balls for and I'm assuming it's at least triple of what I payed? But I might try the local alleys next time if I can't find them from my favorite gal again. I just know I can't afford to be doing this if they are $15 or more each...

You have to use the same type ball to get a good result. The balls are made differently and of different materials. They will also have different cores in the center.

I hit on this in the video- but I don't have $1000 to go buy a bunch of brand new bowling balls just to shoot them. And no clue where I could get a bunch of used ones all matching either.

[@ronaldwoodman224]

Cool vid! Do you have a vid on how to grip a pistol? Everything shoots super flat in your hand.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

No because according to all the "experts," I don't hold the gun right. I already get ridiculed constantly for it as is, so I could only imagine the backlash if I posted a video suggesting that others hold the gun "wrong". But it's basically just the thumbs forward method, except I curl both thumbs down with the left being hooked over top of the right pulling down to lock everything in. Other than that, very firm grip with all fingers including the thumbs and lock both arms completely forward without any bends in them. As for stance when standing, I always teach "fighting" stance- stand with your fists up like you are actually fighting someone. So for me this means my left foot forward and right foot back (for stability), standing slightly sideways and leaning slighty forward (again for stability). If you watch enough of my pistol your reviews you will see all this...

[@azrielisrael4378]

9mm only does well on ballistic gels otherwise its underpowered, but nice video.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

I think there are some physics at play here. 9mm has a very narrow pointed bullet going faster than .40 & .45- I think it just sliced right in due to this. In the upcomming rifle video, you'll see the same thing happen between 5.56x45 & 7.62x39, where the faster smaller cartridge didn't do anything compared to the slower larger caliber (even though power levels are similar).

[@taronbrown7665]

absolutely not true, the construction of the different bowling ball's core played a massive part in the damage seen

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Good eye! As you can see, they came up from down below the hill where I cannot see- especially while focusing on the ball and firing. It is sorta downrange but pretty far off to the left- the camera angle makes it look worse than it is. Either way, I was unaware, and looks like they stopped and waited for me to finish shooting. The whole compound is a multi-family private property, so whoever it was was well aware of what we were doing and chose to drive up to that point under their own free will unbeknowngst to me.

[@heyjohnson5535]

How much did u give for the hipoint 10mm? I paid 210 for my hipoint 45 back 15 years ago. If they had a1 0mm back then i would of bought it instead but hipoint is a fine gun. Only ever time it jammed was like 12000 rounds in without being cleaned so i tore it down cleaned it and ran flawlessly til i bought other pistols and basically retired my hipoint. It always shot really clean though first bullet through it i smacked a softball at 35 yards dead center. NO shame in a hipoint. I just have others that i can tear down in the field if i had to which isnt possible w my hipoint 45. My brother bought the 40 when k bought the 45 and both of ours ran flawless there entire lives.

To do a good comparison, the bowling balls should be the same manufacturer and model to have consistency in manufacturing. If your comparing round size, the rounds should be relative loads and barrel length. Number of turns. If just for fun, fun.

Of course it's just for fun- how is any scientific data collected from this, even if they were all exactly the same? .380 is more powerful than .22LR, 9mm more so than .380, .40S&W more so than 9mm and so on.
