Thirty-Eighth test in a series
Thirty-Eighth test in a series of a quest to find the overall best defensive ammunition for modern 9mm pocket pistols (such as the Sig Sauer P938, Taurus PT709, the Ruger LC9, Kahr CM9, Beretta Nano, Kel-Tec PF9 or S&W Shield or any other popular 9mm pistol using a barrel length of approximately 3"). The test pistol for this review was a Sig P938.
In this installment, I am testing two so-called "+P+" rounds that were used by law enforcement, the "Illinois State Police load" Federal 9BPLE 115-grain and the Winchester Ranger-T 127-grain.
Note: I'm not making any claims for these videos other than that these are the results I achieved, in my own testing, from the stated pistol. I have no intention to make a blanket endorsement or indictment of any product, only to review and report what I found in a given instance. Obviously it is incumbent upon each individual to conduct their own research and make up their own mind about which defensive ammunition is best for their own purposes, in their own firearms. Also keep in mind that individual firearms can be persnickety; my pistol may feed a particular round consistently whereas your pistol might jam on those rounds, so -- please conduct your own testing before trusting any particular ammo.
The purpose of this testing is to find which rounds of ammo perform well enough from a short 3" barrel that they can reliably deliver the penetration (with expansion) that has been documented and proven necessary in order for the bullet to be able to reach the vital organs of an attacker and deliver an incapacitating hit. Further, I'm testing to see if there's enough benefit from these over-pressure rounds to justify using them, versus conventional ammo that complies to SAAMI specifications.
We are NOT talking about 12" of penetration through a body! We're talking about 12" of penetration through ballistic gel.
For those who don't understand why the 12" penetration distance is so important, please see my blog entries on the subject:
