Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

I'd rather have OVER than UNDER. In any case.

Underwood themselves make this projectile, or at least designed it. Thats what they say on their website in the "questions" section.

It’s my experience that most rounds tend to overshoot their normal (calibrated organic gel) depths in clear synthetic gel. On average it comes out to about 1.5 inches with most JHPs and 2-4 inches with FMJs. I don’t know which would be more analogous(if either) to the weird “X” tip of the Lehigh bullet but I suspect that 19.5 inches is still acceptable, if either hollows or ball ammo are anything to go on. The synthetic stuff is less temperature sensitive but it seems to be more slippery or something.

You know you keep calling it a cheap Chinese product, yet you bash the shit out of it and it still works, and you continue to call it a cheap Chinese product, I think you’re being an ass, it’s a very reasonably priced red dot of pretty darn good quality I would say, there are a lot of higher priced ones out there that wouldn’t have held up to the abuse you put this one through, you keep whining about it and you kind of piss me off! I’m going to actually buy one of these because you proved to me it’s a pretty darn good red dot!, $89 through Amazon, I’m going to put it on my Tisas B9R double stack 1911, which I’m sure you would probably call a cheap Turkish product!😂

So u had it on the tx22 compact

It’s good test but making your decision on which one to buy based price is pretty easy for me considering gold dots are usually twice as expensive than federal Tactical.

People, he has his reasons. For some, 19.5 inches is excessive just on the notion that 18 is already at the extreme end. Could he easily use this ammo in a micro 9 and get favorable results? Sure he could, but it’s just as easy for him to use the 90 grain in his Glock 45 for equal results.

This guy really loves and depends on the fbi bilistics in all he's saying it performed well with slight over penetration that would barely wound anyone else. Compared to saving your life or someone else's looks like a win to me or something I'm willing to deal with personally. Watch your backdrop so you don't risk bruising anyone to save lives.

Kalkara, wouldn’t this mean that this particular round would be stellar in a micro 9 like a Shield Plus or 365? You did get your data from a 4in barrel after all.

I use .00 buck for my home defense!

Two years on - has this guy still got his left foot?

What do you think of these vs the AAC 77gr OTM's? They're both the same price. I'll be testing them sometime soon out of an 11.5 but mainly just groupings, nothing as high tech as your tests.

clear gel penetrates more because its synthetic

Test the 77gr OTM from AAC!!!

They get their jacket separation under control yet? Kinda sucks if you have a can. Just rolling the 🎲 🎲

You shouldn’t be mounting any optic on your hand guard anyway. Supposed to mount tot the furthest point of your upper receiver

Fbi uses denim

Underwood this is amazing performance, this guy obviously doesn't know what he is talking about

Unfortunate 🤨 thats amazing 👌

Your tests are a good approximation of the FBI tests. Good job!

So my question has always been unless your shooting through someone at the side you don't need 14+ in penetration u need about 3 so why is it the standard considering most period get shot point blank. Genuinely interested in knowing why

I feel like it didn't fail. It took a lot of shit before you dropped it head first directly on the concrete. Seems like it would be just fine on a nightstand.

Heres the thing dude that doesnt know shit at ballistics. Would YOU want to get shot with that??....

There needs to be more publicized tests on flesh instead of gel for the lehigh bullets. Until then, the underwood ammo lehigh load main perk is energy, penetration, and barrier blindness. Actual wound cavity in flesh is questionable, but that was always something that wasnt much of a priorty to me in handgun calibers as it only matters several seconds/minutes after i want to hit the offenders off button the moment the trigger is pulled. You either hit something important enough to stop the fight, or you dont.

With the gold dot looking like that through glass no way it will do the same thing everytime 👌both did great though

Here are several questions. Why just fire one bullet? Why no material in front of the gel? What's the temperature of the gel?

It might be interesting for you to check out load development and terminal ballistics in the same medium with the same parameters... using the 'extreme penetrator' projectiles, given that they have considerably more robust flutes and have resisted deformation to a much greater degree than the 'defender' in my testing! Also, was there any overlap of penetration channels in the clear ballistics gel... that might have skewed the results given the number of rounds fired into that medium? Overall, you did a very good job with this!

By hand or nothing for me I load for benchrest and shoot over a chrono I like to watch my bullets preform

Good video. My only thoughts were the Federal Punch was designed for two inch barrel guns. By using a 4 inch barrel you very likely would have a faster velocity. But nice video.

Genius... You used a 4" barrel and the 68 gr +P is ideal for smaller barrels.

Good in depth video btw…but let’s stay in the right lane, Holosun is a product manufactured and built in China, then sent to California for US distribution…so not truly an American based company. Kind of like saying Taurus is a US based company bc they ship/assemble/complete warranty work in Bainbridge GA….Stay Vigilant!

#00 Buck for home defense... #4 Buck for drone defense

Ask ER Drs, 22lr is lethal , get shot, feel fine, then suddenly drop dead!

For a defensive round I am pretty sure you want the round bleeding energy right away which theae all did extremely well. i am not overly concerned about over penetration, but i am concerned about ice picking straight thru like happened alot in irac and Afghanistan. Mainly because the indigenous people were not very thick and the green tip round takes so long to start tumbling or yawing. As for the temporary cavity you should have watched the videos before you spoke about them. All the rounds looked as violent as any 5.56 i can ever remember seeing. Since you were reusing the same gel for each round it became impossible for you or us to tell the damage once the video stopped. Just a small suggestion, maybe nwxt rime switch the gels around halfway through and you will have have as many shots in each, vs all on the one block, like in theae tests. Or not. Anyway you still did a good job and pretty informative.

I'm about to use my plates for testing if no one is gonna buy em.

If you want 100 percent weight retention and better penetration on soft targets aac has a barnes 70 grain solid copper round that you might want to check out

Palmetto state purchased AAC..... AAC is the same company responsible for the development of 300 blk out, aka 300 aac. Before they were ever purchased by palmetto

Slugs are also pure lead and almost hollow, so they deform a LOT when they hit anything harder than a stiff breeze. They will definitely overpenetrate a human target but it won't go very far afterward

What was the velocity of the two?

This review got me to sub. Thank you! Great video and I am sure a lot of effort went into it

I bought a bunch of KCI G19 mags back in 2019. They are failing now (Wont hold open a G19, or AM9 AR 9mm). I bought them because they looked quality. I took them apart, I see the spring is tiny in comparison to the PMag and (9 coils vs 11) and slightly thinner spring wire in comparison to the Glock mags. I recently bought a boat load of heavy springs for cheap and bought more KCI G19 mags. The newer KCI mags had much heavier springs, like Glock. So they did appear to improve the mags. I also bought a bunch of KCI AR mags, those all failed. All of the followers were 2mm shorter in comparison to all other followers I mic'd. All of the AR mags never held the bolt open during firing, just during function tests. I replaced all of those followers and they run like a champ. You can see they make really good stuff, but typically miss an important detail on the first runs.

In lindia buck shot is banned. Only choice is to depend on bird shots with lower no as no 2 no 1 or slugs. And lastly it depends on what is available imidiatly on such threats.

I’m in Illinois. Wish I had a couple those guns you’re firing. I hate this state for that.

Absolutely love the Xtreme defender and Xtreme penetrator line!!

We can't link things in the comments.

Thank you for the interesting presentation. What bothers me about such products is the uncertainty about the steel. It can be 440C steel, but I want to know for sure.

I just keep a full mag of M855A1 for my home defense

Thank you for running a scientifically legitimate test. I am running the 60 gr VMAX currently.
