      Hornady usually loads all their 9mm defensive JHP ammo pretty weak The Critical defense/Duty FTX projectiles and all of their XTP Projectiles offerings. If you want good Hornady handgun ammo get it loaded by any company other than Hornady itself

    THANK YOU!!!! I mostly carry 5 inch full size 45 with the CD 220gr+P. When I do carry a 9mm it is the 135gr +P CD. Thank you! This was beyond words useful. I am completely happy with my choices. I definitely am super happy with both. I love my 45 but am.now cool with the 9mm even more. This is a test I trust and it built my confidence in my ammo choice. Thank you!!! 💯

    Thanks, another good video. This is consistent with your earlier videos on the Critical Duty. I use 135 grain 9mm in my G17 and G26 carry guns. Last week I also got 5 boxes of the +P and tested those. They work well out of both guns and no discernable difference in recoil between my range ammo 124 grain S&B FMJ, Critical Duty 135 grain, and Critical Duty 135 grain +P. As to people wondering "why would you need a round that can penetrate doors, windshields, etc.", I live in Oakland and things are getting out of hand faster than you can blink your eyes. Scenarios where I have to shoot through a door or window to protect myself are absolutely not hypothetical. Thanks man, keep these videos coming.

  • @BossManBrons
    @BossManBrons 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Critical Duty is among one of the most iconic, effective, & commonly used FBI/Secret Service rounds ever made. Not saying this round is the best but if you do your research, for duty & offensive situations it’s one of if not the most effective round for that purpose itself. With that being said I prefer the Critical Duty 135gr +P , Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P, or Federal Premium HST 147gr if we talking 9mm. Those are the best rounds hands down. Stats say it all!

  • @frankbrowning328
    @frankbrowning328 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hornady created these loads based on the criteria established for law enforcement requirements after the Miami Dade shooting. They had to penetrate auto glass, drywall, auto sheetmetal and other media and still show some expansion and still provide adequate penetration in flesh after encountering those media types. These are still considered to be very good for those purposes. Are they the best for your average person? That person has to answer that after considering their own needs for a protection round.

The 19 and 45 have a RDS (red dot) 19 is my preferred option.

      Ball ammo for self defense? Why would you want a disadvantage

    • @cgsimons1187
      @cgsimons1187 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've heard about what timrobinson6573 is stating. After the initial shot is fired the attackers will oftentimes run away or take cover and continue their assault from that position. This hints at the value of using a bullet with good stopping power(especially for the first rounds) to take them out of the fight ASAP. Some people get the notion that stopping power is unimportant because they can just fire as many rounds as they have in their magazine. Though if the bad guy can still move after that first shot, he is likely to get off the X. That first shot may be your best opportunity to avoid a long-drawn-out gunfight against someone hiding behind cover.

    • @mikerobinson8734
      @mikerobinson8734 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@Rubeless How is that a disadvantage? 2 holes are better than 1. Imagine being stabbed with a pencil, now imagine being stabbed by the same pencil from the front of your chest and the back of your chest. Which one do think does more damage? I guarantee you will bleed out much faster with 2 stab wounds over 1. The whole expanding bullets are overrated and under penetrate. 9mm is a very weak caliber as it is. Also to add to that if caliber doesn’t matter ie… 9, .40 .45 than why does it “need” to expand? Shot placement matters and you shouldn’t be shooting at anything or anyone with a bystander behind your target anyway so hollow points are moot. I carry with what I train with. Most people never train with their +p HST hollow points.

    Critical Duty is exactly what it's meant for - DUTY! 👍
    Personal defense is one thing but defensive AND offensive use possibly involving barricaded bad guys (cars, walls, glass, fences, dumpsters) requires more penetration.

    When it comes to common calibers, I'm like you and would always want +P. Both exceeded the box, and the big boy did a great job in the gel. One question though; does Hornady make the same rounds without the insert? HST? If so, I'm sure we would see better opening of the projectile, but probably loose some in penetration.

    These usually do very well. I just bough bought some Critical Duty in 357 Magnum last week. I figure all of these calibers would expand a little more out if a carbine too. Would live to see some ammo tests of a round comparison of being fired out of a pistol vs a carbine.

    I really like the 9mm critical duty. Good woods round!

    Tools u gotta get a G21/41 King of
    .45 since 1990. 13+1 of these is some serious power.

    9mm is a great caliber and performed well in this video however despite what some might have you believe it is not created equal to .45 in lethality when comparing similar ammo .45 tends to always expand larger and deliver more energy which is very important with handgun rounds

    Very impressive rounds! I may have to switch to these for my self defense rounds after this review. Thank you! 🙏🏼

    Good to see, I always loved the 45.
    Work the Taylor scale, 45 wins hands down

    One agin , when using the same type of bullet the 45 out performs the 9mm. Proving again that the larger heavier slower bullets have more killing power!

    Those are pretty impressive muzzle velocities and terminal performances.

    What's your opinion on 9mm Critical Duty 124+p vs 135+p? 🤔

    • @ToolsandTargets
      @ToolsandTargets  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you sir. Pretty sure I have tested them both before without the cloth I use now. I need to look back and maybe do an update test.

    The 135+P is the current FBI load. I get 1,200 FPS out of two different 9mm 1911s

    Just laid in some 124 grain Critical Duty 9mm and .40 which is 173 grain, if I recall. Like to see those two head to head.

    That .45 would be decent for trail carry in most places.

    Tools can you try some budget 9 jhps in the homesteader. Like the SB which was a fail in the pistol and the aguilla which failed the gx4 but did pretty good in the p80.

  • @caleb6988

    I would run either one of them in my tools. They both performed good and expanded nicely. Great test brother tools.

    Thanks Tools! I wonder if there is any more juice to squeeze out of the 45 in a carbine? Those were almost supersonic.

    At least with the 45, if you get any expansion at all even a small amount it's wicked!!!

  • @rdmercer2451
    @rdmercer2451 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice expansion from both. Imo 45 will always win over 9 simply because of the laws of physics... more mass, causes bigger holes, more trauma, more shock, and finally better “stopping power”.

    • @therichie9916
      @therichie9916 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Talk to a few trauma surgeons you'll find out you are wrong. They will all tell you they cannot tell the difference in the wounds and cannot identify the caliber used until they find a projectile from most all commonly used defensive calibers. That is simple fact.
