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
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.
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 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
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!
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.
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
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..
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.
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.😆
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 went to a local large gun shop.here in north carolina where I live today to check out there rifle and pistol powder . From 40..00 to 69.99 dollars a can.thats right 69.99 . I got plenty powder and a certain powder I wanted to test but not at 69.99. a pound of powder from Sweden. I did get a bow of 100 xtp 180 gr to load for my compact 44mag and my daughters 44special for self defense. I got plenty acme bullet company 240grain red coated swc . 34.99 for the 180gr xtp bullets. I had 240gr xtp I've been testing. I could load the acme 240gr 16 brinnel hardness bullets for self defense but far deeper penetration than I won't even in the 44special. when I run out of primers I can reload my primers as so far I'm at 100percent effectiveness at it.i enjoyed the video. Papa wishing you well 😊
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.
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. 😂
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...

Appreciate that again, brother!😎👊
Wow. Standard Pressure getting 1125 from a 3.1" 🎉🎉🎉 That is fantastic!
Happy Tday to you and your family, Tools. Stay warm 🔥
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!
"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

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

The price is for sure a huge bonus.
Just picked up a case of 556 made by them. It was at a fair price. So far they've all gone bang.
Nice 😎👊
Right on time, I needed me some quality content to watch right now! 🤙
I figured you were out shopping.😆
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.
Happy Thanksgiving Tools! Nice test!
Thank you sir. You too!😎👊
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.
These are great results, thanks for another A+ presentation Brian
Thank you sir.😎👊
That's how Gold Dots ought to be loaded. Hey Speer, are you watchin'?
Aint that the truth!
Thanks, these are excellent. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
Appreciate that!😎👊
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.😂
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
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.😬👍
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
Congrats 0n 90k Buddy
Thank you sir! 😎👊
Happy Thanksgiving hope you and your family had a great day yesterday. Very impressive 9mm124g. Stuff 🇺🇸👊
Thank you sir. Same to you!😎👊
Yeah buddy. That's some nice performing ammo. I'll have to check that out. Thank you for posting and all you do.
😎👊
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!😎👊
All good except for austin. Amen! You got that right!

Awesome performance and awesome test Tools
Thank you sir.😎👊
To me that's flawless performance, good stuff. 👍
💥😎👊💥
👍👍 good results, appreciate the test.
😎👊
Nice looking round at an affordable price. Thanks for the video!
😎👊
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.
Happy Thanksgiving Brian!
Thank you sir. You too!😎👊
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.
Good price and worked well. Thanks for the jelly test Tools!
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.
As always, awesome, informative and entertaining video! Muchos Grassass!
Thank you sir 😎👊
Happy Thanksgiving for you T&T love your channel and i wish you a happy year ❤❤❤
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!😎👊
The rounds you pulled from the gel kind of look like a cross between the Gold Dot and HST. Looks pretty good :-)
Nice test as always. You get a manicure??? Rocking those Hollywood hand model mitts. 👍
Huh?🤣
Great test love those gold dots 👍
Thank you sir. They are some good ones.
As always...thanks.
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!😎👊
Good stuff !
Happy Thanksgiving to you and family. Just had some leftovers an about ready for bed...again...lol
😂 Thank you sir.😎👊
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.
I appreciate your 'love' of good performance ammo 👍👍
That boolit might be a Winchester PDX1...? The classic one from the G-17 you can add to your tie-tack collection! 😊
Wow, that's a great test! I'm pleasantly surprised.
Thank you!
😎👊

@@rogerjohnson6733 Nice. Good to know it's the same stuff.
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.
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.
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.
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
So glad I found this channel
Appreciate that, my friend.😎👊
Thanks for the video . And happy thanksgiving!
Thank you sir. You too!😎👊
Seem to be pretty effective a 124 grain exceeding 1100fps from a 3 inch barrel is pretty good they performed well
Damn, dude, you never disappoint.
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..
22 bucks for 50 rounds.😎
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.
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.
Lone star proud. Great performance and another good video.
Heck yeah looks like some good stuff! 💥💥 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🥧
Thank you sir. You too!💥🦃💥
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.😆
Awesome video ,well executed.
Great testing. I love your videos.
Thank you sir.😎👊
Happy Thanksgiving! Great offering! Gold Dots are golden. Nice expansion and adequate penetration.
Thank you sir. Appreciate that!😎👊
Wow, good stuff, Texas gets stuff done !
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.
Nice work as usual.
Thank you sir.😎👊
"Looks like a Gold Dot"
Think that might be those Berry's Hybrid Hollow Points, at first glance.
Those hybrids look a lot different.
No, now,,, glance some more 🤓
@@ToolsandTargets I know you probably have both on hand to compare. I'll leave it to your good judgement 😉👍
GOOD STUFF.I AM GOING TO CHECK IT OUT.🇺🇸
😎👊
Looks good wonder how they will perform at the most used platform. SIG 320 3.9 and the Glock 19
😎👊
No
I look for those next time down in Texas.
Gold Dot has always been a consistent performer. This looks to be a component manufacturer. Nicely done as always!
😎👊

Always love your videos! Thanks for doing the work!(If you consider a day at the range work!) Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
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
Seems like a good way to get gold dots at a better price, and the quality of being made in USA
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
Good test Tools never heard of ammo but I think it's a gold dot looks like good ammo to me.
Y'all have a great Thanksgiving.

Now we need to see what the 147 grain can do.
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. 😂

Great JOB Sir. Thanks for sharing Captain. Keep them coming.
Thank you, my friend!😎👊
@ you are welcome. You got my full support Sir!!
Good stuff! Looks like a Gold Dot to me, too
Another good 9mm test. Seems to be pretty easy to find a good 9mm to use.
True
Well Vista outdoors finalized the sale of federal cci speer and all of it's ammunition away
👍 as always, nice job Texas.
😎👊
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
😎👊
Temps in the low to mid 60s, it's gonna be a chilly one.
Meanwhile in Montana 😂🤣😂🤣
Gold dots get it done as long as you're not cheap with the powder
Not bad. Lil shallow for me tho. Happy Thanksgiving Tools
Looks like a winner, winner, just in time for leftover 🦃 dinner!
💥👍💥
😂 😎👊
You are the best...thanks for true ammo test..
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...
Another good ammo test
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.
Ordering from the website is like trying to solve a rubik’s cube though!
😂
How do they compare to HST in your opinion?
Good test , good ammo .
