Thanks! Agency issued 147 gr Speer Gold dots for duty, 124 +P HST for off duty carry. Another great test. Stay safe and stay dangerous. God bless.. Sarge
Thanks Brian! Just ordered 5 boxes! I’m usually a +p 124 Gold Dot or HST guy but both of my EDC’s are a 4 3/4 inch Canik Elite Combat and a 5 inch PDP so velocity shouldn’t be an issue. And with the performance of these, I don’t mind the standard pressure! I like to try to get 400 ft/lb of energy from my 9mm and this seems close enough. Great deal too!
Nice!! I’ve never heard of 4140 Armory but well done!! More ammo companies is a great thing in my book. Especially if they load good consistent ammo with good components. And don’t fudge the numbers 😅. For a good price is awesome. Thanks for getting this out my friend 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Are anyone else's choices on ammo heavily influenced by Tools & Targets? 😂 dude you should have ammo companies lined up at the door. I'm an Underwood fan thanks to you.
Thank you so much for all the ammo testing you do! 100% my go to for ammo specs and you run all the relevant bullets on the market. Thanks again, happy late Thanksgiving and hope to keep seeing you put out the goods! Stay safe
HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and your family! Interesting test. Definitely will have to give that company a look. Thank you. My dad is from Texas, so that adds to it!
Looks like some great ammo 👍🏻 how much does that stuff run for? & A theory i have why speer loads them a little slower is so they get a little more penetration 🤷🏻♂️ but then again they look a little different than gold dots to me after expanding..
Thank you sir. I saw some other place had some .22lr deals too. I didn't get any ammo but I did buy some parts to put together another AR on that squirrel lower I bought.😆
The issue I have with smaller brands is that they could change the velocity in 3 months. They might not be able to get Gold Dot projectiles in 6 months. They might not start using a different powder. There's no guarantee of consistency.
Even the big companies make changes. Winchester Silvertips have had multiple iterations over the years. The big guys are always tweaking their ammo, but you are correct that they are more consistent because they aren’t at the mercy of specific materials being available.
Good test Tools. A lot of small outfits make questionable ammo but this stuff seemed to do the job especially for standard pressure ammo. Looked to be on the hotter side of standard but still.
I couldn't see the Gold dot in the center, so I was thinking its the X-Def bullet by Xtreme Bullets. It's basically a Gold Dot clone. Doubletap is loading some of them in their Bonded line.
Guess we'll be finding out if their present offering is the same bullet? I ordered 5 boxes right after I watched the video!! The shipping on my order was only $10!Thats a bargain in itself nowadays!! Will try to let y'all know if they are the same as soon as they are delivered???🤞🤞🤞
My order was just delivered, and I checked one of the boxes. Labeled exactly the same as the stuff tested, and it is sure enough a Gold Dot as best I can tell
For minimum recoil you’d want standard pressure 147. Id say either 147 grain Speer Gold Dot or federal HST. Both are the two best hollow points you can get for pistol calibers.
that's not too bad at all to be honest, decent penetration, decent expansion. If I ever can't get my round of choice, this will be worth considering... how long does it take to go through a case of HST? Asking for a friend, he might have a few...
Thx. Low to mid 60s? I think we barely made 19f or 20f. Had to put on the Carhartt. Speaking of which, it would be good if you could test ammo thru layers of Carhartt jackets and overalls. 😂
Happy holidays Tools, please never stop making these videos, like I said before you are a ammo testin prophet!. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thank you sir. Same to you!😎👊
He's the Ammo Baba!
Wow. Standard Pressure getting 1125 from a 3.1" 🎉🎉🎉 That is fantastic!
Happy Tday to you and your family, Tools. Stay warm 🔥
"All good except for Austin"! 🤣Facts, and a great price for what you get. Thanks for the test!
Everybody from Austin probably unsubscribed.🤭
Yeah, but who honestly cares about Austin?
@@ToolsandTargets they weren't into freedom anyway
It's time we real Texans take back Austin!
All Texans know Austin is a land of SOCIALISM 😂😂😂
Ecstasy of Gold. Great to see a boutique loading something else than outdated XTPs and getting high praise in the test for it
Thanks! Agency issued 147 gr Speer Gold dots for duty, 124 +P HST for off duty carry. Another great test. Stay safe and stay dangerous. God bless.. Sarge

Just picked up a case of 556 made by them. It was at a fair price. So far they've all gone bang.
Nice 😎👊

The price is for sure a huge bonus.

Thinking about it, some of them companies might not want to be exposed 😂
Pretty sure Buffalo Bore tickles Tools more…
Some of em don't want me anywhere near their ammo.😂
Scott from "Kentucky Ballistics" made me a fan of Underwood Ammo
@@dennispiert5742 especially if it's 10mm
Right on time, I needed me some quality content to watch right now! 🤙
I figured you were out shopping.😆
Happy Thanksgiving Tools! Nice test!
Thank you sir. You too!😎👊
These are great results, thanks for another A+ presentation Brian
Thank you sir.😎👊
This is an excellent deal on their website. $22.50 for 50rd boxes!
😎👊
What was shipping like?
@@mikethomas4598 I second that question
@@mikethomas4598just checked, $10 for 5 boxes shipping, or $2 per box.
Looks like good ammo. It's hard to beat Gold dot bullet. I wouldn't have a problem carrying it, and the right weight
They are some good chunks of lead.
Congrats 0n 90k Buddy
Thank you sir! 😎👊
Thanks, these are excellent. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
Appreciate that!😎👊
Thanks T & T. Everyone loves a good 9mm.
Yessir 😎👊
48* when I left for work at 6:00 am this morning warmed up to mid 60’s this afternoon here in south Texas pretty sunny day
Bring on the Jelly Man... these are very impressive that price is amazing
Yeah, I actually rechecked like 3 times to make sure that was a 50 round price, before I did the video.😂
Happy Thanksgiving for you T&T love your channel and i wish you a happy year ❤❤❤
Happy Thanksgiving hope you and your family had a great day yesterday. Very impressive 9mm124g. Stuff 🇺🇸👊
Thank you sir. Same to you!😎👊
That's how Gold Dots ought to be loaded. Hey Speer, are you watchin'?
Aint that the truth!
Happy Thanksgiving Brian!
Thank you sir. You too!😎👊
Awesome performance and awesome test Tools
Thank you sir.😎👊

👍👍 good results, appreciate the test.
😎👊
Great test love those gold dots 👍
Thank you sir. They are some good ones.
Nice test as always. You get a manicure??? Rocking those Hollywood hand model mitts. 👍
Huh?🤣
The rounds you pulled from the gel kind of look like a cross between the Gold Dot and HST. Looks pretty good :-)
As always...thanks.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and your family! Interesting test. Definitely will have to give that company a look. Thank you. My dad is from Texas, so that adds to it!
Thank you sir. You too!😎👊
Awesome video ,well executed.
Great job, great video. Picture perfect results/expansion for the 9mm out of either barrel length. Can’t never go wrong with a gold dot.😬👍
To me that's flawless performance, good stuff. 👍
💥😎👊💥
Nice looking round at an affordable price. Thanks for the video!
😎👊
Yeah buddy. That's some nice performing ammo. I'll have to check that out. Thank you for posting and all you do.
😎👊
Thank you!
😎👊
Good price and worked well. Thanks for the jelly test Tools!
Not bad. Lil shallow for me tho. Happy Thanksgiving Tools
All good except for austin. Amen! You got that right!
😎👊
Great test and yet another choice for me to use in my EDC! Thank you sir and I hope you and your family had a Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
You too, my friend!😎👊
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to you and yours Tools, and thanks for another fine round of “Jelly Time” testing as always.
Thank you sir. Same to you!😎👊

22 bucks for 50 rounds.😎
Good video, I hope you had a good Thanksgiving brother, I did get some .22 from Dunham's today for 4 cents a round
Thank you sir. I saw some other place had some .22lr deals too. I didn't get any ammo but I did buy some parts to put together another AR on that squirrel lower I bought.😆
As always, awesome, informative and entertaining video! Muchos Grassass!
Thank you sir 😎👊
Great testing. I love your videos.
Thank you sir.😎👊
Nice work as usual.
Thank you sir.😎👊
So glad I found this channel
Appreciate that, my friend.😎👊
Thanks for the video . And happy thanksgiving!
Thank you sir. You too!😎👊
Damn, dude, you never disappoint.
Great performance from that stuff. And reasonably priced too.
I'll be looking around to buy me some. Thanks Tools and have a nice Holiday.
The issue I have with smaller brands is that they could change the velocity in 3 months. They might not be able to get Gold Dot projectiles in 6 months. They might not start using a different powder. There's no guarantee of consistency.
Very true. I've seen the projectile change several times with some brands.
Even the big companies make changes. Winchester Silvertips have had multiple iterations over the years. The big guys are always tweaking their ammo, but you are correct that they are more consistent because they aren’t at the mercy of specific materials being available.
Good stuff! Looks like a Gold Dot to me, too
Heck yeah looks like some good stuff! 💥💥 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🥧
Thank you sir. You too!💥🦃💥
Good test Tools. A lot of small outfits make questionable ammo but this stuff seemed to do the job especially for standard pressure ammo. Looked to be on the hotter side of standard but still.
Thank you sir. Good price too.
As a Journeyman Toolmaker, when I see 4140 I think of a type of Chrome-moly tool steel. I wonder how they derived at this for their name?
I was wondering about that myself. I figured it was something to do with their military history. Didn't think about the steel.
Lone star proud. Great performance and another good video.
Seem to be pretty effective a 124 grain exceeding 1100fps from a 3 inch barrel is pretty good they performed well
GOOD STUFF.I AM GOING TO CHECK IT OUT.🇺🇸
😎👊
Amen on the Austin reference.
😆
It's funny indeed, but to be fair all the Texas cities except San Antonio have gone the way of the doodoo these days
Looks good wonder how they will perform at the most used platform. SIG 320 3.9 and the Glock 19
😎👊
No
So the fact that you can get these for the same price as Winchester WB and or Remington UMC makes them a must buy!
Definitely a good deal.
Wow, that's a great test! I'm pleasantly surprised.
Interesting test Tools. Ammo performed pretty good.
Hope you had a good Turkey Day.
Be safe and be vigilant my friend.
Thank you sir. Kinda just a normal day this year with everybody having different schedules and stuff.
Good stuff !
Happy Thanksgiving to you and family. Just had some leftovers an about ready for bed...again...lol
😂 Thank you sir.😎👊
Good test Tools never heard of ammo but I think it's a gold dot looks like good ammo to me.
So many ammo companies that I have never heard of.
Even with all the testing I've done, there are still tons I've never heard of.
Wow, good stuff, Texas gets stuff done !
Another good 9mm test. Seems to be pretty easy to find a good 9mm to use.
True
That boolit might be a Winchester PDX1...? The classic one from the G-17 you can add to your tie-tack collection! 😊
I appreciate your 'love' of good performance ammo 👍👍
I couldn't see the Gold dot in the center, so I was thinking its the X-Def bullet by Xtreme Bullets. It's basically a Gold Dot clone. Doubletap is loading some of them in their Bonded line.
Y'all have a great Thanksgiving.

@@rogerjohnson6733 Nice. Good to know it's the same stuff.
Happy Thanksgiving! Great offering! Gold Dots are golden. Nice expansion and adequate penetration.
Thank you sir. Appreciate that!😎👊
Having a Glock 19x, what is a good clean running, self defense ammo that minimizes recoil?
Underwood makes a bunch of good hot 124 9mm. HST, Punch, and several others are good ones if you're just looking for easy to find good stuff.
@ToolsandTargets Thank you.
For minimum recoil you’d want standard pressure 147. Id say either 147 grain Speer Gold Dot or federal HST. Both are the two best hollow points you can get for pistol calibers.
@@elozesty6376 Thank you.
@@jameslitsey2512 no problem, always happy to help
I’m assuming out of a 5in barrel you would get 1200fps or just over? Just curious. I’ll have to check them out
Sounds about right.
Another good ammo test
T&T in the house
Yo!😎👊
Great JOB Sir. Thanks for sharing Captain. Keep them coming.
Thank you, my friend!😎👊
@ you are welcome. You got my full support Sir!!
Always love your videos! Thanks for doing the work!(If you consider a day at the range work!) Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
How do they compare to HST in your opinion?
I look for those next time down in Texas.
that's not too bad at all to be honest, decent penetration, decent expansion. If I ever can't get my round of choice, this will be worth considering... how long does it take to go through a case of HST? Asking for a friend, he might have a few...
Good test , good ammo .
You are the best...thanks for true ammo test..
Now they are using something called a “Force Match Defense Hollow Point.” It might not be, but from the picture it resembles a Hornady hollow point.
Yeah, that's just what they're calling the load. No idea what the bullet is. The pic on their site is too unclear.
Nice stuff
💥😎👊💥
Seems like a good way to get gold dots at a better price, and the quality of being made in USA
4 boxes of 147g for $100 with $8 shipping. That's a good deal.
How many rounds per box?
@ryanupchurch9683
50 rounds
Yeah, I was kinda surprised by the prices.
Well Vista outdoors finalized the sale of federal cci speer and all of it's ammunition away
Thx. Low to mid 60s? I think we barely made 19f or 20f. Had to put on the Carhartt. Speaking of which, it would be good if you could test ammo thru layers of Carhartt jackets and overalls. 😂
The cold has moved in here now. It was fun while it lasted.😆
Do some 38 spl
😎👍
Gold dots get it done as long as you're not cheap with the powder
Gold Dot has always been a consistent performer. This looks to be a component manufacturer. Nicely done as always!
😎👊
Man I wish I was able to say low to mid 60's was going to be a chilly one 😂
That was the last of the good weather. Freezing now.😆
@ToolsandTargets I believe it. It's freezing up here in the midwest I know it can get pretty cold in your climate as well especially at night
Text book performance!
😎👊
I think for sure is a gold dot the nose skives give them away great to see another pass especially if the price is good
😎👊
Congratulations from Brazil
Thank you, my friend!😎👊
I'm checking them out online. Have you tested their 75g hpbt? If not, can you?
Hey Tools
Howdy brother!
