*Many of you have already seen these from my posting at GlockTalk and www.okshooters.com

just thought i'd share them here.
I will be doing more tests in the future and i do have some older ones to post if there is any interest.
Thanks.

Very well done

 

[WJP9]

impressive results

 

[Gelicious]

WOW thank you for that. I noticed was not a 8 layer picture shown for the gold dots? But from what i can tell the gold dots seem to expand and hold their weight the best out of the bunch. I really like that because i carry them in all my handguns.

JP Thanks MUCH! ~ Very Nicely Accomplished.

What a great THREAD! :congrats::usflag::congrats:
You really put some serious effort into that.
Really great seeing the photographs.

Nice to see that my Gold Dot is still hanging in there with the others.:yup:

 

[Rock and Glock]

Excellent pictures and report! It was great to see so many self-defense loads compared side by side - I am a very visual person - so the pics are extremely helpful. I've been using the GD 115's - so I like 'em!

Thank you!:congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:

Yes, very informative. I was not sold on Gold Dots for some reason. But now I like them and the Rangers the best.

 

[J.P.]

I like the HST 147gr. :wink:
plus they are $14/50rd from www.streichers.com. :danceban:

 

[P95Carry]

Good info :smilez:

I didn't see this thread and just posted this pic on your other thread on 40's.

I do still stick to GD's myself - and these tests were out of the short R9 barrel, std pressure ammo too.

 

[gregarat]

That was informative. Looks like Im going to swich 9mm carry loads, no more Corbon 115gr+P for me!

 

[J.P.]

I don't consider the Cor-Bon 115gr a bad round,FWIW.
I will be testing some of their DPX next time.

 

[BCurry1]

Looks Good JP, thanks for sharing. Great pics also!!

 

[Tangle]

Yep, thanks J.P. I saw your post on GT and printed it out for "further" consideration.

I currently carry GD 124s and was a little disappointed that in the four denim test the bullet(s) couldn't be recovered. The 20" penetration suggests that they either disintegrated or they "plugged", over-penetrated and "left the scene". That's a little troubling.

I gotta agree with you - the 147 gn HST is pretty impressive and consistent in all the tests.
