      I find a lot of the tactical stuff to be kinda nonsense, people now days with their high speed low drag tactical gear are kinda annoying. Sure it's nice to have stuff that's ergonomic and versatile. Though at a three gun match if there were two guys with equal skill and one had a bone stock AR or some other auto rifle that has a decent optic mounted, and the other had some tactical gear there probably won't really be much difference.

      would you call it even peacocking at that point? I watch GT, Lucas from Trexarms, Larry Vickers, and Paul Harrell. They all have different experiences but usually are great people to watch, and I love paul to death because he appeals to the average shooter and logic of owning, and using guns in a defense situation, and ammo choices. GT tells me if a plate carrier is good or not, and Lucas tells me how to train myself to be fast in a defense situation.

      unfortunately my dog did. She was a German shepherd that was old and suffering so I took her out to a place in the woods to put her down. I had my 45 loaded with ball ammo. I shot her point blank in the back of the head and she screamed like i never heard a dog scream. I had to empty the magazine into her. It's one of the worst experiences of my life. After that i have used hyper ammo. If I had used it on her instead of the ball ammo she would have died instantly and not screamed. Though she didn't use the words. she did communicate to me that what i used was unacceptable.

    What a great presentation. I couldn't agree more with point 7. I've preached that for years. RIP, in particular, is horrible ammunition in more than one way. I would also like to mention that while you may be criminally absolved of any wrong doing, you still potentially face civil action. Look at OJ Simpson as an example. Try explaining to a jury in a civil case why you used RIP ammo. You can still be found guilty of wrongful death or even murder in a civil case and thus financially wrecked for life. I would argue civil cases are far worse to endure with the exception that if found guilty you're only facing financial ruin and not the death penalty or life behind bars being Bubb's girlfriend for 40 years.
    I've also witnessed, first hand, the "precious" syndrome many times. Please keep these videos coming. Your presentation style is so palatable that 30 minutes seems like 10.

I've put almost 1,000 rounds through it and I'm yet to have a malfunction of any kind. As far as I'm concerned, that means it's been every bit as reliable as any gun with a price tag twice as big. I bought a Taurus because I didn't want to spend $400-500 on my first pistol. Had I been willing to spend more, I would've bought an FN FNS 9.

    Regarding fancy ammo, personally I just carry "basic AF" Remington green/white box .40 S&W 180gr JHP. It goes where I point it and puts holes in things, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg so I have no problems cycling out a magazine of it every time I go to the range; thus my carry ammo is always super fresh, too.

      It is funny but a valid point. Back when I only carried factory ammunition I would rarely fire up to a magazine of my carry ammunition to make sure it functioned and hit to the same POI as my practical ammunition. Well I got disappointed because I never did find that cartridge with that bullet weight in that specific load again and it became too precious to shoot up. By then my confidence in my own handloads had gone up and I switched to carrying my own, which in today’s artificially panic stricken society is the only ammunition I can get in any of 4 Pistol calibers I can carry. I do like a lead ball worked up to tightest group I can get from it.

    • @davidbrady1250

      @@308dad8 I never got into reloading. All the shooters in my area do, but all they care about is saving money on brass with no regard for any precision down range. I could see the appeal of learning to make match-grade precision ammo.
      As far as POI, agreed--when I started out a decade ago, I kept having instructors tell me "practice ammo has the same POI, don't waste your carry ammo at the range." For a novice shooter like me, Paul might have phrased it as "with the groups you're shooting, it won't make enough of a difference to make a difference." But I tend to think a lot like Paul about certain things, however, and I won't carry anything I haven't tested until I can trust it. Only after I went through a couple boxes of carry ammo side by side with my practice ammo was I comfortable believing the POI of my practice ammo. I still run a few carry rounds every range trip just to cycle through my storage about annually. (Well, I used to do that. Then 2020 arrived and now ALL bullets are buscadero ticawwwwwndas, and I don't wanna waste 'em. :-D )
      That said, my original comment was just that I could listen to Paul tell silly range stories all day. He could not, in fact, bore me--let alone to tears. :)

    I can’t agree more with topic #7.

It fascinates me when I watch various videos or read posts in 2A forums as to some of the comments, questions and statements made by individuals that are well spoken but lack necessary training and experience.
    Now retired and working armed security I had a new guy, no LEO or Military training report for his first shift. I introduced myself and offered to show him around. His response “I’m tactically trained to identify the threat and take it out.” Now mind you we are working in a hospital. My response “UA-cam Video Training Doesn’t Count.”

    Paul, you are correct.

But when it comes to standard HD ammo, I buy the standard 50 round Winchester white box 180 grain JHP’s, they expand just as good as any hyper hollow point and penetrate reliably, they never jam, and cost the same for 50 as the hyper ammo does for 20. And if I’m at the range practicing, I buy inexpensive FMJ’s.

The series is 7-8yrs old but still very relevant information and relevant types tested. All from a 3” barrel. I’ll spoil the ending and let you know that anything with HST was a rockstar performer. The final two were HST 124gr standard pressure and that was slightly edged out by a 147gr something something something. Can’t remember because none of my local stores carried it. I think it was the 147gr Winchester Defend PDX1 or something like that. I’m trying to recall what it was without going to watch the episode again. It’s in the “wrap up” video of the series. That said, I settled on the 124gr HST because it’s readily available at ALL of my local shops and big box outdoors shops so I can train with it and buy new rounds when it comes time to rotate my ammo out. It performs well through every test-medium I’ve seen it shot through. It always expands and hits 12-18” in the tests I’ve personally seen and watched here on UA-cam.

    The only defensive ammo I will use in my carry gun is Hirtenberger Buscadero Ticondas. Though, since my carry gun is a Singer 1911, it’s really too valuable to carry. I prefer to keep it locked up in my safe. Of course, since my safe is an antique Mosler Firejacket Cannonball safe, I have it buried in the backyard. Under concrete.

    Just another excellent, well prepped and cogent presentation from this guy. I'm a Marine from back in the days of the Southeast Asian war games, plus a 20-year badge here on the east coast. I like to think that I know the difference between BS and the real thing, and Paul Harrell is the real thing. I've known how to shoot and handle firearms all my life. Then, a few years ago I went to Front Sight in the Nevada desert to really learn how to handle a firearm. These days, when I want to learn something regarding a particular or specific subject matter, such as this one about hyper ammo, I just look for Paul's presentation on it. He's well-learned, well-spoken, acknowledges counter-points while sticking to his point, and delivers the information in a manner that holds the listener's attention. All of those things about him will keep me coming back.

    Point 7 : exactly. For my EDC carry knives I am VERY aware about what is written on the knife. Some blades have "skull logo's" or "Combat" on the blade. Or nice names like "Assassin". It's hard to argue you are not an agressive person when carrying a tactical knife called "The Mercenary" with skulls on the blade.

    When you said "precious" as in too precious to waste it with practice, I immediately thought of my Glaser Safety Slugs I purchased in 1990. A few seconds later, you gave that exact ammo as an example of 'too precious'. I still have those 6 blue tipped cartridges in my ammo stores- never once fired. I've always been uncertain of both the terminal performance and legalities of that ammo, and it was too expensive (for me) to practice with!
