    @PerceptionVsReality333 26 днів тому +7

    The 45acp was more damaging even though it was standard pressure. The Federal HST +P 124 grain is my favorite SD/HD round in my Beretta92FS & the weight of the pistol handles it like a champ.

    I would think the 45acp would be a step up over 9mm because of bullet weight and interia and surrounding tissue damage. But, 9mm pistols have usually more rounds. I would prefer 45acp for home defense and 9mm carry. Don't think you can go wrong with either. GREAT VIDEO!

    I have watcher 100's of videos of testing in ballistic gel. This is hands down the best test I have ever seen! It gives a whole new visual on what damage is caused to flesh and bone when hi by a bullet. It also shows that gel alone does not make the bullets react the same as just gel. In many tests you will never get the expansion the bullets are intended to do. Super cool video thanks for the effort. After seeing this it makes you wonder how anyone can survive a gunshot much less four or five!

    I was ready to predict the 9mm as the clear winner, even as a .45 EDC guy, due to the +P speed. Wow! What an even Steven test!
    Bullet win goes to the .45 for its larger diameter and extra weight.
    Gun win goes to the Glock for capacity, but also to the 1911 for its oh so sweet trigger (see, I am always trying to find a win for my EDC).

    For the rounds fired, 45 wins.
    Bigger holes leak faster.
    Being said, the performance discrepancy does not outshadow recoil, capacity, shootability, cost of plastic v steel guns etc.
    Guns being equal, Im carrying 10mm, 45A then 9mm, but guns and capacity are not equal and the comparisons are weighted differently.

    I love both calibers and, to be honest, I have never felt that one was balistically superior over the other enough to make a difference for civilian use. Both have a place for CCW with their own pros and cons. I lean towards 9mm for capacity, recoil/follow up shot speed, and weapon size, but I would feel comfortable with either. Love these videos... keep up the great work.

    Takeaway: Either one works supremely well. The loads & the guns. I've carried both for years, a 5" 1911 in my young years and a G19 for many. A G19 is way easier to wear all day but a nice standard pressure 45 like this HST is much easier on the ears out of a 5". My first shot is a bit better out of a 1911 but the fast follow-ups are better out of the G19. I EDC the G19 but the 1911 will always be my favorite pistol. HSTs and Gold Dots in these same pressures and weights are my choice. Sometimes 147gr HSTs in a micro 9mm for deep concealment.

    Humm,, they done awesome damage but the penetration is lacking , that’s one thing that bothers me about the hst,, I won’t something that digs deep,, I believe I’m gonna have to replace my hst with critical duty ammo,, I no I can get the penetration I won’t from them

      As long as you’re carrying a full size barrel, I can’t get critical duty to expand from short barrels.

      @@thegundungeon I carry a 43, and XDs and I use the 124gr +p critical duty and they expand great but now when it comes two the 135gr +p or standered pressure from my 43 ad xds they don’t open up half the time, but with the 124gr +p they are awesome

      @@buddysumner4022 the 135 is what I tested and couldn’t get to expand reliably. I haven’t tried 124gr critical duty. I typically carry gold dots most of the time since they are sold as just projectiles and I like to roll my own defensive ammo. Knowing for sure each primer has an anvil and compound, every case has a correct charge, and every bullet is crimped correctly means a lot to me, more so than and legal ramification that has yet to ever be an actual case issue in the history of ever lol

      The bullets went through skin meat bones and gel plenty of depth to let something know you are serious. They expanded well and there was lots of damage. Most likely you'll lose something to obtain whatever it is you hope to gain.
