Anytime there's 147 grain Federal on the shelf, make sure you grab it because it's very hard to find in stores

just ordered few boxes for that for my EMP to test the reliability of the gun, if that worked well then why critical defense when this box offered double the capacity of a box of critical defense?

I’m very impressed considering the fact that it is budget ammunition.

The 43 packed an insane punch 😮

Outstanding video...and confirms for me my decision to EDC 9 rounds of Federal HST .45 in my Ed Brown Kobra Carry, with an additional 9 rounds in a spare mag.

Great video. I would feel comfortable with any of them, Glock 17 or 22 is with me when I’m away from home. 1911 is my gun when at home or running around town. Love 1911’s, but the weight of the Glocks is nice. I have the same ammo for all 3.

FINALLY a video that shows everything we want to know without talking the whole damn time. Thanks man love it

How the heck did it expand more on the shortest barrel? Very strange.

Why do so many folks go with 180 gr 40 ? That bullet weight does not even make its way into one shot stop studies. Fact is 155 -165 gr 40 is at the top not 180. Go look it up.

Cci stingers better then cci uppercuts

No chrono. Bye.

The consistency is almost unreal. What a design by Federal. It's what was issued to a department with which I was associated, so it's what I bought on my own to carry in my G43, and I'm not disappointed.

I love your test videos. HST incredible as always.

Dam the calibers….. I think it’s safe to say federal premium hst makes a hell of a product…… simple as that.

My best round is water for my NERF Super Soaker XP100-AP Water Blaster.

45 ACP is like a 500HP american muscle car vs a 9mm german made 300HP sports car. Same result, LOL.

Very similar performance. Thank you for the video.

115gr HP seems to work well with the 3" area barrels... they open up!

Best ballistic gel video out on TH-cam

Most people don't consider the blunt force trauma. The larger, heavier calibers do a much better job in this area.

I paid $365 for my Glock G44 and put 350 rounds through it without a single malfunction. Used CCI, Winchester & Remington ammo and it ate them all. When the G44 dropped four years ago it had issues but in 2024 I think the platform is GTG. I don’t regret my purchase.🇺🇸

weak-ass 40 load. but the 45 gives solid performance

Great concise to the point test. Appreciate it!

How you lose a whole chronograph?? 😂😂 Thank you for the video btw

WHAT WAS THE RECOIL LIKE CUZZ?

Does federal run smooth I bought a box for my Glock 44 but don’t really have the time to test the ammo but I don’t wanna run it if it’s gonna Jane or miss firw

Great video!!!

Thanks for the knowledge I’ve been carrying these will replace soon

I was very interested in seeing the results of the Federal HST ammo because the other day I decided to get some home defense ammo and the Federal HST was significantly more expensive than Hornady Critical Defense and Hornady American Gunner. Well this test just proved that more expensive doesn't always mean better performance. Anyhow I ended up getting the Hornady American Gunner not only bc it was the cheapest, it had 5 more rounds, and the highest muzzle velocity of the 3.

I got these in 147 grain

1600 out a rifle not the glock 😂

They going about 1100fps out of that glock buddy

Solid video, thanks🤙🏾

Что то 9×19мм патрон слабоват

Well done, clear and concise - thank you.

I carry HST most of the time and sometimes Gold•Dot or Ranger T-series! The HST is very consistent! I have tested over 300 rounds of various ammo types and barrel lengths! I have never ever seen a HST, Gold•Dot or Ranger T-series come apart! The HST is the most consistent round I have tested! I have tested sub compact, compact and standard barrel lengths! The compact 4" barrel mostly always has the best results! All rounds were tested through 4 layers of denim and 4 to 5 jugs of water! Most rounds stop in 3 to 4 water jugs! The HST always opens up the biggest! The Ranger T-series is a wicked jagged round though! I hope this helps! All my test were done at 10' away!

My ebc nothing better. Stay strong.

Seems like t series like the heavier bullets The 40 in 180 and 9mm in 147 Very strange stuff but must be the design of the bullet in heavier weights works better

i dont know why people hate on these... they seem to work great!

Good video. Fair video.

I saw a great demonstration of the HST 147 grain, now I want to purchase the Federal HST in both 124 and 147 calibers. Is it possible to shoot these rounds at an indoor range?

This is why I swear by 9mm. I love .40 and .45, but as far as being cost-effective, the 9mm HST is “JuST aS gOoD,” so-to-speak, when factoring in cost concerns. Glock 19 is king imo. But I’d love a USP .40 or a 1911 in .45 for the hell of it.

This one of the best test vidoes I've ever seen. I hope you make more content.

After watching many of these types of tests, it seems the 124 grain HST in 9mm is the best choice for that caliber. The 147 might be a good choice if you are using a suppressor because the velocity never makes it to 1,000 fps. HST in any caliber is a wise choice.

Does the job

Very good test. Testing got right down to business. A lot of these tests are mostly listening to somebody flaping there lips repeating the same thing at least 3 times. I have actually fell asleep and missed the test. Thank you so much 😂 rally enjoyed the test very informative also Thank You!

My duty & EDC most of the time, Is the .357-Magnum loaded with Remington 125gr SJHP, My EDC semi-autos are mostly the +P HSTs, and some others like Underwood +P & +P+ JHP. 🇺🇸

I would absolutely rather have the 124 grain 9mm version over the 147

Federal hst 124 gr. Is still the king

Trained (and used) a Sig P-250 in the military, it was .40JHP then and it still is today. Love the action on this Sig model, very reminiscent of the revolvers I grew up practicing with. Only this semi auto holds 15 instead of 6. The wife prefers it too.
