Concealed Carry: Ammo Selection 

My only complaint is that Paul often says he could talk for an hour about a subject but never does.

Something's wrong here, Paul. The sun is out and there's no rain.

When Paul says "... I'm not making recommendations; this is only what I use." I start taking notes on what he uses.

"Can 3/4 of an inch really make that much difference?" I just turned to my girlfriend and said "you be the judge."

Paul Harrell - My favorite place to learn on RU-vid

Don't stop making videos man do not stop

Most underrated gun Channel on yt

I'm not adverse to a 1 hr vid from you paul. I'm sure we'd get alot of thoughtful insight into the subject at hand. You're what they call a professional.

Can't wait to get home to tell my wife that three and a half inches are perfectly sufficient.

I love it when someone uses facts, logic and experimentation to arrive at a conclusion. It is so refreshing in these emotional times. Thanks Mr. Harrell.

When I feel stressed out.... A little Paul Harrell is like a nice soothing massage!

"I'm what you call a professional" Love your channel Paul.

>Wasted a deer with a .25acp The absolute madman Also: "Depending on what you're measuring, 3/4" can be a lot" LMAO

My wifes new nickname is now "meat target". It is not helpful at all.

Just give me the green and white box. I'll figure out which gun to put it in later

"Well depending on what your measuring, three quarters of an inch can make a Lot of difference!" - (Paul Harrell 2018)

Paul, you and your meat target make my days less depressive. Thank you, from the depths of my heart.

10:20 I was mind blown when you revealed it was the same ammo in different length barrels. That is some really solid info. As always thanks for your time Paul

3/4" definitely matters when measuring.

Having a very closely similar background to Paul, I use it Speer gold dots in all of my EDC... From exotics to common rounds, a lot of tests with their loads and I am convinced... plus the fact that almost every single department uses Speer CCI for their loads, if you do happen to get into a self defense situation, I will attes from prior trials, your bullets will come into question, so if you use those deadly black talon ultra RIP death Ray bullets, be prepared to explain yourself, but if you carry what's good for the goose is good for the gander it makes it that much easier... Plus the other ways of using defensive ammo tomato tomatoe to each their own...

Yay! More PH balance in my life!

I have yet to find a bad video from this source. Well thought out, well presented, informative, erudite, and concise with focus. I always learn something. I look forward to the new videos coming out each time.

It’s always a great day when Paul Harrell post a video. Very informative and detailed. Thanks for all of the info!

I just recently have found and been watching your videos. I find your program the most informative of all of them. You present the answers to my questions so completely that I come away with a much better understanding of what it was I pondering over. Thank you very much and you can count on my support.

Another great video Paul. I always seem to learn something new when I watch your informative videos. Thank you as always.

Haven't watched yet, guessing green and white box...

Paul's wife: "Have you seen the glass top patio table. I just saw it yesterday"' Paul: " Yea, I'm using it to hold my targets". Stoney silence.

Thanks Paul, for this video. I am one of your viewers who asked about this topic. You confirmed that its best to practice with the ammo that you carry, and with fixed sights to find the ammo that gives you the desired impact point and group. Regards - Terry

We could all use an extra 3/4"...

Thank you Paul Harrell. I wasn't sure if 115 grain 9mm hollow points were good enough for self-defense, but after watching this video I am convinced 115 grain JHP's are just fine. I used to carry heavier grain 9mm JHP's, but I now carry Hornady Critical Defense standard pressure 115 grain XTP hollow points. Btw, I love all your videos! They are the most informative and entertaining gun videos on RU-vid!

CA resident here. All kinds of "friends". Even *some* of my non-firearm associates enjoy watching these. Good job.

Just found your channel. Really like your presentation style. Simply, straight forward and informative. Best on youtube. Great job and good luck.

Great review. Looking forward the the .380 ammo review.

I've been 124gr HST for a while. ShootingTheBull410 impressed me.

Love your straightforward analytical approach to...everything you put up, thanks.

Hahaha it's a SUPER coincidence that you posted this video !! Just yesterday I was looking for new "cheaper" carry ammo for my 9mm Glocks ( 17 and 26 both Gen 5's ) and I noticed that the Remington green + white box JHP 115 Gr was like $32 for a 100 pack at Walmart. I picked it up instantly and became my everyday and duty ammo. For the price, you can't beat it !

I love the sound of guns firing, but they piss me off when they interrupt a Paul Harrell speech! They should call a cease fire when Paul makes his vids.

Paul you are the best. That being said, I would like to make a request. Would you please do a presentation on one handed shooting. Dominant hand, non dominant hand, stance etc. I have to amit that this is something I do not practice enough. And it is a skill that I believe could be very useful in a self defence situation. Thanks for your consideration. And I can never thank you enough for your service to our great nation. You are a testament to our great PNW!

Yes!! The best intro in the history of intros... loved the video Paul... keep up the good work!!

Paul, We are all glad you are getting more subs - I have been since 30k or so. Keep em' coming

Great video as always!

"Shooting the bull" has done a nice "Ammo Quest" for .380 ACP

Retired Marine here who's pretty picky about the gun channels that I subscribe to. This channel was a no brainer. No BS, just really good info presented in a well thought out manner. Thanks for putting in the range time to give us these great videos. Keep up the good work and, as always, Semper Fi.

YES!!!! Another Harrell Video! Thank you Paul you brighten my day with your fantastic content.

Great video as usual. I look forward to the .380 video. I used to be a .380 hater until I actually shot some things with it.

Great video. I too use Remington 125 grain +p 125 sjhp in my .38 specials.

Another entertaining and well-informed video. Even though I'm in the middle of my work day as soon as I saw a new video listed I immediately stopped what I was doing to check it out.

What do you recommend I carry? Well these are the questions you need to ask yourself, and the experiments you need to do. Well played sir, well played. Probably the best answer I'll ever see on RU-vid.

My day is complete

Thanks for the video! I use blah blah blah ammo for my CCW and it works great in my equipment of choice....(which does fit my hand the best, LOL)... Mostly what I learn from your videos is thought process, and examples of what I should be thinking about when assessing the right solutions for my questions.....always a pleasure

I love that every video is “out on the range today” - not a table or bench top review!! In the field at the range experience.

Best recommendation on ammunition selection out there. I highly recommend this!

The 90 gr XTP in 380 works well in all barrel lengths including 2.75 inch if you get a good loading, some are hotter than others. The precision one load in Shootingthebull410 ammo quest did very well and passed the IWBA denim ordinance gel test

Nicely done! Thank You Sir. :)

Paul I love you man . You are very great with your words. But also you are very knowledgeable and I thank you for passing it along!!

Just want to tell you THANKS!!!! for sharing your knowledge and skills. You are very much appreciated! Thanks for your military service and sacrifice!

Hornady has been super accurate in every gun and caliber that I have tried

paul is what id consider a big brain centrist when it comes to firearms.

My friend I just got to say you make some of the best educational videos out there truly amazing you are amazing

You're pretty slick. I love your videos and your sense of humor. Keep them coming brother.

Silvertips are what I use in my LCP .380. It was the best overall cartridge I ever tested in that particular gun, feeds the most reliably, has good expansion too. The only drawback is that the penetration isn't that great. I get a mean muzzle velocity of 926 FPS with that ammo for 162 FPE. Accuracy is good too, I find that in the LCP, cartridges that come in around 160 FPE seem to be the most accurate, but hyper-velocity ammo looks like buckshot all over the target.

Deer 1: Let’s go graze over there near the guy without a rifle. Deer 2: No way man. That’s Paul and he’s a professional. Deer 1: I ain’t afraid of him. All he’s got is a mouse gun... **walks over to Paul** Paul: **Aims pistol** Deer 1: Hey guys look at this... He thinks he’s gonna take me out with a puny little pis...*drops dead* Paul: ... So, was that a puny little pistol? You be the judge... As always don’t try this at home; I’m what you call a professional and thank you for watching the ‘How to hunt big game with a mouse gun video’! Me: I love Thursdays 😁

Wow Paul your camera work and audio are great! Makes the videos very pleseant to watch.

Your message is loud & clear Paul. When it comes to personal protection. Keep it simple.

Great video!

So I forget. Did Paul have five caveats or only two? Well in all the enjoyment of the video I forgot. I would also like to note that the person firing on the next lane over at the range should really stop firing when Paul speaks, they may learn something worthwhile, or just simple respect for the great Paul Harrell *(THIS IS A JOKE FOR A LAME HA HA I know he warns about the live fire.)* Love the videos Mr. Harrell. Thanks for making them for us to watch. :)

You are one of my favorite RU-vidrs to watch. Subscribed!

Great video Paul. Thanks for the recommendations!

First like. See Paul’s video- instant like.

had to like this after five caveats...

Love your style and setup and insights! Keep em comin'!

So glad I found this channel. Wonder how long it’ll take me to watch every video.

It would be interesting to see the chronograph differences between those two 380 pistols with that ammo.

Thanks Paul, Make It A Great Day! I guess I'll keep my false sense of protection with my little, overpriced boxes of ammo

Thanks to your videos, and your ingenious "meat target," I've been doing my own cartridge testing - based on my own needs. Can't ask more from a RU-vid videos series. Again, thanks.

Would be interested in the .380 video you mentioned!

I use whatever ammunition I see on Paul Harrel's channel that destroys the meat target appropriately. Seriously, though, I use Federal HST 124 gr JHP 9x19 regularly, but last time my store didn't have it. Thanks to one of your previous presentations, I felt comfortable substituting Sig Elite Performance.

After hearing the caveats my thought was Remington Green and White box most of the time. Lol Another great video Paul. Thank you for taking time to make them.

"Depending on what you're measuring, three-quarters of an inch might be a lot of difference" Haha! Truer words have never been spoken. Once again, great video.

Hey Paul I'm in oregon too, love this state, politics notwithstanding. Do you offer any public shooting courses in oregon?

So just to be clear you ARE recommending this ammo? ( it had the be said)

great as always Thanks Paul and keep it up.

I cant believe it took me this long to find this channel.... the old guy from Tennessee is good but paul is so much better!!! Cant wait for the .380 vid

.38 Special = Underwood topped with 125 grain Speer Gold Dot 10mm = Underwood topped with the 155 grain Speer Gold Dot Serious business calls for serious ammo.

Holy carp! I saw an ad. Is Paul monetized!?

Thank you for making this video, I have been wanting it for a long time

Awesome video. Thank you Paul !

*YOU BE THE JUDGE*

Is there any way you could do a video on 9x18 for EDC or defensive purposes Paul? I own a Makarov and I'm interested in knowing. Thanks

Everytime Paul pulls out a gun or ammo, I hear the "Hot Pockets" jingle in my head. In seriousness though: you have an outstanding channel.

I love this guy. His presentation and articulation...liking it.

380 AMMO VIDS 👍👍👍👍👍

That's all well and good, but what do you recommend?

So after watching all Paul's videos whenever I explain something I now use "caveats". Thank you Paul Harrell!

Your videos are very pleasant to watch.

"Im not making any recommendations" Ok thanks for the recommendation 😁

I actually watched the entire LONG Purple Matress Commercial to support Paul's channel. Why make such a long commercial on utube and then give u the ability to skip it. Makes no sense.

Excellent as always, thanks Paul

Thanks for making the Paul's ammo choice video.

Okay. Got it. These are recommendations
