Have subscribed, unsubscribed, and re-subscribed over the years, but just wanted to say that the decision to re-sub and stay was because of observing the marked increase in maturity and production value in your channel. Your content has gotten much better as you go on and is excellent. Looking forward to more videos. Keep up the great work!

He should shoot a 700 grain bullet of a 500 Magnum

Tom T says:

I honestly don't understand the apprehension behind this round, how could someone think after watching this video that it's not a good round for self defense. Even when the round failed to expand, its more then lethal if that landed in your chest, and if the perp did not die or stop, shoot them again…

Awesome vid! I have a new found respect for the little ruger lcp that I keep around as a bug.

Matthew Rajala says:

Can you test the .38 special like you did the .380?

Anthony B D says:

I have been carrying extreme penetrators in mine.maybe you could test them in 380?Thanks

john smith says:

HST's just work. More a testament to the round then the caliber. No other 380 performs like that. Also why all my carry guns are HST lol.
