Finally...I was starting to have withdrawals
same. i called him after i referred my uncle. lol
Same here. I was worried about his channel with the way media is being banned and controlled this week. It seemed unusual for him to go so long without a video.
I was about to post the same thing but, you beat me to it.
@@jamespruitt6718 When I open the youtube page the videos they are coming up are about cooking ,songs, weather etc. but not a single gun related video.
@@raptorkravmaga9977 that's funny I still see everything I saw yesterday and the day before
I was so worried the fruit cakes got him . What a Relief . 😅
That or a rogue pumpkin that was somehow super sneaky and missed.
The fruit cakes are busy at the moment, they're making lists.
I think he or she removed my comment for making a plane old sexist joke Glad to see he might be back
Which fruit cakes? The world has gone, well, fruity!
Paul need fear no fruitcake or pumpkin for that matter. Any he has not already dispatched are hiding as far from him as they can get.
People have mentioned 5.7X28 vs. Body armor. We have demonstrated that in multiple presentations.
Paul you seriously make my life better. Your a bright light in a darkening world. Thank you for your videos.
You’re my spirit animal, Paul...
“Spear”
Thanks for the test. I was a little surprised, GDHPs usually perform quite well in other calibers.
Hey Paul my girlfriend and her dad are looking into buying their first handgun. Her father accoeding to her has used firearms before but i cant seem to speak to him about firearms and typically just leaves me dropping the conversation with him. Is there any handguns you recommend for beginners or perhaps you have a video you can direct me to? Thank you if you read this and great video!
We are in an extreme Ammo shortage and Paul is shooting several types of 5.7 ammo. What a baller!
Betting he has a lot of stocked up rnds :)
@@altonkriel probably but it also seems to be a regional thing I'm having a hard time finding much in Central North Carolina in the triangle area but I know people in the rural parts of Illinois that have good luck in the stores.
@@blake7297 5.7x28 in general is a bit tough to come by even when you look online. But realistically the toughest aspect is not many companies are loading for it. My work got tons of it yesterday but we've been out for around 2 months. So it's still getting made and coming but it's not high up on the list of production compared to other calibers.
The only thing stopping me from grabbing the Ruger 57 that's been in stock at the local Fleet Farm by me for over 3 weeks. NO one has ammo around here.
I'm seeing a lot more 5.7 than 9 around here lately
I genuinely appreciate this evaluation. 🍻
I genuinely appreciate your genuinity.
@@Vuntermonkey I appreciate it.
Ditto
I think at 50-75 yards this would yield a far more interesting result.
@@Natepwnsu yeah I've always wanted Paul to set up some sort of long range chrono, like a steel plate w a hole in it, gopro on the back of the plate and a chrono behind that.
His aim is good enough to get some results at range(mine isn't 😁).
2 vids in 5 seconds, today is a good day.
Yes!!
Astute observation my friend.
I don't know about anyone else, but I really love the echo of the gunshots kind of peaceful and soothing
It's ASMR for the gun owner 😉
My headphones never sounded better. Thunder knows how to be silent when Paul is speaking and playing his instruments.
You should try yourself in real life.
Fall asleep to it nearly every night 🌃
I live within earshot of 3 ranges. It's peaceful, soothing music.
2 Paul Harrell videos in one day! Things don’t seem so bleak.
Drop everything and learn from the master!
thanks
I came for the tedium. Proceed.
It's not tedium for me. I am waiting for when he hits the chrony. I think I am in for a long wait
Not me. I'm here for the "uhmmms" and "ahhhhs" and Shatner-esque pauses.
@@napalm3899 I have to admit I'm also waiting for the stutter
I like that other channels are starting to build their own meat targets and they give credit to Paul for the idea.
It wasn’t the Cookie Monster’s idea!
It's a better representation of the characteristics of a thoracic cavity than fbi regulation ballistic gelatin.
There's copycats out there? Sacrilege!
Gun Sam does his own thing.
They do indeed; the venerable Taofledermaus references Paul quite regularly
paul is still my main go to channel for real info.
and the perfect ammo to test with the P50 that comes in March...
Paul mentions overpenetration of the speer, while this is an issue in some circumstances, it can be ideal in others... taken from Speer description - This 5.7x28mm round will dominate a threat thanks to its 40 grain jacketed hollow point projectile. As the world’s first true bonded core bullet, the Gold Dot’s electrochemically merged jacket and core resist splitting apart throughout terminal penetration. This round’s tough bullet even retains the vast majority of its weight after having smashed through auto glass, ensuring it can always inflict a deep wound cavity within its final target. and since people ten to carry in daily life, which means traveling by car alot! or say a great motorcycle gun for those road ragers.... i can se carrying a mag of 20+ of these speer rounds.
I like the 5.7 spears. But the FN LF rounds are better in my opinion for any cqb need. They pen, punch, and tumble making them ideal. The key to a good 5.7 round is reaching that 2k fps threshold. The round just performs near-ish to 5.56 levels at that pressure. There are other companies putting out custom 5.7 loads pushing 2.5k and those hit like a hammer to.
I have leo training and have personally daily carried a 5.7 for over a decade. Great round that has finally gained some traction in the last few years. A half 5.56 caliber or pocket rifle as I call it.
I appreciate my dusty SW snub nose 38 more now than 15 minutes ago. But I get your point.
Snubnose .38s have put a lot of people into early graves. While it's not my first choice, it's far from my last.
I agree. I need to get more proficient with my Model 49.
5 rounds of 38 or 20 or 5.7? Lol I carried a snub for years, I'd never go back after shooting any type of pistol
Informative, and entertaining, yes. "Tedious"? never
Paul still must have better eyesight than me. He is twenty feet away with the sun in his eyes and isn't having any issues.
No, but the sun is like "bruh, I can't see!"
The sun knows better than to blind Paul.
Paul is what some people might call...a professional.
My girlfriend thinks it’s weird that I enjoy watching Paul review ammunition in a caliber I don’t own and don’t plan on buying. I can’t help it. Listening to this guy is just so relaxing. It’s been said many times, but he’s truly the Bob Ross of guns. 😄🌳☁️🏔
And yes, the deer were wearing t-shirts, while resting comfortably on a pile of neatly folded fleece blankets.
eating oranges
I just want to know why he was shooting deer with a 38 snubby and a 5.7?!?
Sitting on thousands of rounds of various 17HMR ammo, I wish some company would make a 17 semi auto pistol. Great presentation as always Paul, thank you
Have you looked at any ballistics results from shooting the 17HMR from a shorter pistol barrel?
Sign at Paul's butcher shop: "Roast, Chops, Meat Target."
does he smoke those ribs after he smokes those ribs?
@@KeithTingle no, but the dogs eat good.
Man, this guy is a certified legendary BADASS!
@Edgar Critter I never had one here on earth
@Edgar Critter Both you and SLNTSCPE have your condolences. My dad was kind of an asshole, but at least he was around. Still, that also gives me motivation to be a better man and a better father than he was.
Meat Target: All right 2021. This is going to be my year, I can feel it.
Paul: Walk in with a 5.7.
Meat Target: FML.
Might be a lot of meat targets out and about soon
Wish he had tested $170 level lll vestI just bought
First sighting of the meat target in 2021
I suspect until the ammo situation is resolved we are gonna see Paul get very creative to come up with videos
Not necessarily. It's not like he's blazing through a 1K rd case of ammo per video. Some people already have enough, and I suspect Paul is one of those.
Only chumps waited til 2020 to start buying ammo in bulk...lol
"Today we're shooting the Meat Target. And by 'shooting,' I mean it's the projectile in this Civil War-era 8-pounder cannon."
"For the next test I have my Red Ryder 1938 loaded with Daisy-yellow-and-red-box-177-caliber-5-point-1-grain-zinc-plated BBs rated at 125 feet per second."
Always stoked to see Paul’s videos
As usual another great video , thank you and God bless you, Paul .
Love the echo of the muzzle blast
I'm a simple man. Paul uploads I like and watch. In that order.
I absolutely love these comparisons.
Never go that long without a video again!! Great video!!
Paul, your evaluations are greatly appreciated. Keep them coming...
I was afraid that something might have happened to Grandmaster Paul. So glad to see that he's okay.
Thanks for the work and the resulting information, Paul and The Crew.
Thanks for the upload! Needed this
I work in a large emergency department, I had a young man come in shot at 20 yards in the chest with a 5.7x28 40gr vmax. There was so much damage nothing could be done to save him. Absolutely devestating wound but no over penetration. He broke into the wrong house!!!
20 yards INSIDE a house?
@@bly4233 I have a kinda wide house on a corner lot, my master doorway to my kitchen is 53 feet. back of room to back of room is 91 feet
@@bly4233Exactly. Ridiculous.
@@featheredserpentofthewest2049we get it, you live in a small ranch house, 60feet isn't super uncommon like you think, in my apartment funny enough, from the master bed to the stairs, it's 49 feet
The Gun Professor never disappoints.
Thank You.
By far the most informative gun channel on youtube. Great work!
What an amazing setting
I want a meat target explanation T shirt
The uninitiated would be so confused their heads would explode.
Hot damn Paul Harrell is back! Great video as always
Excellent video Mr. Harrell. I appreciate the lesson you provided today. Keep up the strong work!
Thanks Paul! I hope you have a great year Sir
What's better than a Paul Harrell upload?
Two in the same minute! 🥲
Paul Harrel - The new Gunner's Guru.
Excellent video. Thanks Mr. Harrell.
Thank you, Paul. I always learn a great deal from your presentations.
Man this dude is the most thorough shooter out there. Great stuff man
From one CIB’er to another, thank you for your service and the services you provide here on YT. I recently picked up a P50 and look forward to testing the GD’s to the Vanguard Fang’s.
Thank you Paul.
Great video. Thanks Paul !
I'm glad you compared that round to the .38 Special from a snubbie. That really put things in perspective. Thank you.
New Paul Harrell video, huzzah. 2021 hadn't officially begun until today.
Educational and entertaining as always, thanks Paul.
Thank you Paul
I don't even own a 5.7 but I still watched the video anyway! Beautiful scenery and great information. Keep up the good work Paul!
It’s been over 2 weeks, I was getting worried. It’s awesome to see 2 videos drop!!!
Drop drop drop....
'Til you tear down the wall!
Excellent Paul. Thanks for posting. Patreon well spent.
Thank you, Paul
Did i just see 2 Paul videos in one day?
It must be second Christmas!
The best ammo tests in the universe Lol Thanks Paul.
Him and tn9outdoors
Thank you for your input. I love it!
Thank you Mr. Harrell you have the best most informative and fun gun channel around! I always look forward to seeing all the things you can teach us! 👍👍
"I have shot deer with a snub nose 38".. that's impressive
It was in self defence . The deer had a knife .
@@jonathangriffiths2499 the rut has made many a good buck go bad.....
It was coming right for us!
@@BB-1990 You have to say that before you shoot em.
I see Pauls video I like Pauls video. Instantly
Nice video Mr. Harrell !!! Always enjoy new content, thank you.
Awesome review again like always. Thanks Paul
7:16
The definition of the “meat target” is my favorite thing to have Paul explain.
Thanks for all you do Paul. I think you're far more important than most are willing to admit. I wish we had more people like yourself directly involved in the 2A fight.
Another amazing video , thank you !
Thanks Paul I appreciate it!
A beautiful sunny day to go shooting and what a wonderful location🇺🇸🙏🏻
Truly
As always; great review! I haven't seen the Meat Target in so long that I was excited to see it!
Someone started the rumor that meat target components will be banned during the upcoming Biden administration. Something about promoting violence or something. I haven’t figured it out yet.
And another great reason why I suggestive to your channel! You always have a way of fair and yet we'll put together comparisons. Great job!!!
Great to WATCH you again!!!! Good Video.
“This comes with the normal caveats...”
But...no yabbits?
They're hibernating the winter away, they'll be back in the spring.
I thought it was yabutts...
Those yascilly rabbits???
@@wolveryne42 I’ve seen both 😁
The way you keep your eyes focused on the camera while grabbing everything on the table is just boss.
yeah,he has perfect periferal sight +
Notice his revolver speed load. Ditto.
I am glad to see another video from you.
Thank you Paul. Hope you had a great holiday season. Take care and stay well.
Thank god I can get my fix finally!!!
I already had my spoon out! I've been having withdrawals for days. I feel so much better now!
Paul, I love your personality and humor! You are clearly an expert and the fact you put up with these num-nuts and their asinine comments, clearly demonstrates you have an incredible amount of patience. Keep up the great work!
*numb-nuts
@@MrEazyE357 hahahahahaha hahaha
Good to see two new videos. I hope that you had a great holiday, Paul.
Glad to see you back in the saddle. Thanks for the presentation.
Oh HELLS YEAH! Thursday came early this week!
Love to see that FK Brno 7.5 in Paul's hands, or mine for that matter.
That would be cool
Thank you Paul for this video as I have always wondered about the Gold Dot 5.7 ammo.
Also thank you for standing out there in the bitter cold to shoot a video for all of us to enjoy.
Mostly, thank you for using up some very precious ammo to shoot for this video, especially in a caliber that might not be back on the shelves for years to come.
how is this man so eloquent! love it
Paul has to be my favourite firearm related youtuber. He has tremendous talking skills. Talks in such a way that I take everything in and do not tire of the subject.
Im currently in the UK and own seveal firearms for myself but the dream is to move to the states, fingers crossed next year if I remain employed and I keep saving
Hope you made it to the firearms promised land.
@@XxMrBossxX29 Not yet sir but fully supportive as always 👍
I watch every vid front to back without exception. I also go back and rewatch for reference. Why because his tests are repeatable and verifiable and that's what science is all about.
His early tests on log cabins are excellent. Very very gold, but great. In fact that's how I found his channel, I keep seeing Cowboy movies where the rancher fights the baddies from his doorstep and anyone inside (e.g. the wimmens) the bullets fly through as if the wood was made of polystyrene. So I wondered if anyone had tested out just how much shielding planks and logs gave. Turns out for the oldey timey cabins they stop everything (available at the time) except the largest of elephant guns.
Absolutely
Thankyou for everything you do Mr Harrell all of your supporters truly love and appreciate all of your hard work and dedication Godspeed friend Godspeed
Really enjoy your videos Paul
I love how Paul gets only 20 downvotes because his presentation is professional and on point. Keep it up Paul!!!!
Pffft. Trolls
There are always some jack-tards that don't want to see the chronograph.

GNM, CG
The strength of the 5.7 lies in it's mag capacity, and ability to defeat soft armor...That is what it was designed for.
Plus the ease of shooting due to limited recoil and minimal muzzle bounce as well as its an accurate flat shooter. Its downsides are cost, though thats not nearly as much an issue any more, ammo availability, muzzle flash, size and its damn loud. I don't really consider its pros or cons to be that much of a limitation or great draw. Its a good round in general and a great round if body armor or longer range is important to you.
Darn effective for varmints as well
The 5.7x28 ammo that I carry makes more energy than 9mm, so it can also be reasonably powerful.
@@NickFrom1228 Well cost and availability are dependent on location still.I shop around alot and haven't seen 5.7x28mm anywhere in 4 months.A couple internet sites have it at $99.00 a box for 50 rounds.....thats insane!I've had the Ruger 57 for 7 months now and it's a fun gun to shoot.I refuse to shoot the ammo I have until I can even replace it.Hard times were in unfortunately.
@@NickFrom1228 Im sure some people prefer to be in lager range. :)
Thank you for the video Paul. Happy new year to everyone!
At least you picked a day it wasn't raining! Thanks Paul!
Thank the lord, Paul Harrell is back. Our nation was tearing at the seams without him
I started talking to my employees like this without looking at the material i present, i memorize where everything is and grab it as I talk.. Thanks Paul
I love every second of your videos.. Including the chronograph.. I find it very informative
