My uncle bought one of those little GT27 25acp for pocket carry. His
particular gun jammed a lot. He used to say: that little gun could miss a
target even if they were touching. LOL Hope yours is better
Agreed, there are circumstances under which a 25-yd SD shot might be
conceivable. My point was that it’s incumbent on the SD shooter to
demonstrate that he/she fired in response to a lethal threat and–baring a
few rather unique scenarios–that sounds like it’d be tough to prove at 25
yards. BTW, the S&W 65 sold before I could get it. Rats.
I think I would choose the 9mm and use 147gr FMJ. I believe the defensive
expanding offerings will be too limited in penetration to be effective
against black bear Sounds like a good reason to add a 357magnum to your
choices!!
The +P and +P+ designation basically mean “plus power” and “plus plus
power”. Since there’s no exact requirements to add the designations, it can
be convoluted. Because some manufactures build guns to handle the SAMI
specs for certain chamberings, they will determine that +P, +P+ are not
recommended. Most gun manufactures will at least say that the use of those
powerful rounds will increase wear.
Have you seen troutoutdoors9 ammo tests,he as been testing underwood
defensive ammo which looks pretty potent.(exept the 10mm which seemed to
shed its casing)??
We have many good choices for self defense, and Gold Dot is one of the best.
I hope you enjoyed the vid.
thanks for sharing. -TEW
How do you compare carrying extra speed loaders/moon clips versus extra
magazines? Is one more comfortable or easy to carry?
Great Great video.
LOL Well sometimes folks just don’t cooperate!
Thanks for your comment. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Why not 147 gr. for 9mm? Read that many FBI agents who still carry 9mm run
147 gr. because it offers better penetration and still full expansion.
Great vid Van! Good topic and great info.
First! Great vid!
where did you get your night tec 1911 and do they have a website ?
yes it is but that Gold Dot 135grain plus p in 38 is outstanding in my
opinion
Thank you for the kind words. There are a lot of good folks on YouTube!
Yes indeed!

lets face it!! some people are rhinoceros’s 😉 good vid
Hornady makes awesome ammo! Thanks
My duty ammo is the spear gold dot in 40 s&w it a great all around round
between stoping power and round capacity.
I LOVE the speer GDHP, my main carry load for my Glock19 is the 124gr +P
GDHP. I also like the Winchester Ranger T in 127 +P+ in my back-up mag !!

Usually, 9mm is a chambering that is not recommended to use FMJ for defense
due to overpenetration issues.
Outstanding content and message!

Great vid brother! I agree with the lighter loads.
That’s a great gun/ammo combo!
Thanks bro, I’m glad you liked it.
