Gold Dot vs Critical Duty vs Critical Defense | M&P 9mm vs M&P Shield 9mm GEL TEST 

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching! I've been wondering for quite a while myself.

Thanks! And thanks for watching!🦃👍👊

Thanks for watching! I will keep it coming.👊🦃👍

Man, that really did steal the show early on! Good old gold dots...how many years and still going strong!!

Glad you are liking it! That punch is no joke🔥

Glad you like the videos! Thanks! I'm kind of waiting to see if they're going to put out a 40 caliber shield plus. I have a feeling they're not going to😥. As soon as I buy a 9 mm they will put out a 40 caliber the very next hour

Yea the strong point of the Hornaday would be if you had shoot threw a barrier other than clothes, then the Hornaday would be much better than the gold dot

Gold Dots are Gold standard...😊😊😊

Try federal hydra shop deep. The best..

Thanks for watching!!👊🦃👍

I've been using them for years bit now I'm thinking about the gold dots again. Always things to keep ya thinkin...🙄

Agreed. Don't forget the quality of design and components either. Sealed primers, high quality nickel plated cases, low flash powder, a cannelured bullet that's tightly crimped. Hornady's quality control is top notch as well. Critical Duty 9mm +P really is top dog for an all around loading you can count on.

@@harrypeterson9287 Yeah, if you review FBI testing data, 20 to 25% of Gold Dots and HSTs fail to expand through the entire test series. Not so with the Critical Duty, by far the most consistent duty round available.

I agree, it's the best of both worlds. KDs set alarm for play full size Duty gun penetrate further in a shorter Barrel because it does not expand as well as well from the longer Barrel.

Glad you like! Thanks for watching :) And yeah 14 + 1 works in this one. About 90% better

HST and Gold Dot are pretty bad-ass!

Its a beast!

Its less deadly than lead poisoning but still 😁

Be careful. Critical Duty was made for LOE to penetrate barriers such as walls, cars, etc. It was designed for maximum penetration, not maximum expansion. You are responsible for every round and if it over-penetrates it could lead to legal liability.

Thankee Sai, And may you have twice the number! 🤠👍👍👍👊🦃

I love pdx !! Ill try to do that soon. Pdx1 12 GA is awesome!! Patterns perfect! Oh no... you might not like my 30 super carry video i just posted lol. Thanks for watching!!

Trevon Martin died from a single .380 shot. He was not a little guy either.

One shot stops with .22 long rifle at best is .38 percent.

Thank you! And yeah they are pretty slick

This is true!

👍🦃👊

I agree 100%. Is golden sabers are mean👍🦃👊

👍👊🦃

Too much penetration? If the Critical Duty has too much penetration for you, then you need mace and a rape whistle. Over penetration is only an issue if you have the same understanding of gun safety as Alec Baldwin.

@@MTMILITIAMAN7.62 Says someone that obviously doesn't care about innocent bystanders behind your intended target. Hell yes I'm worried about over penetration.

@papaschuette If there are innocent bystanders behind my intended target, I don't shoot. Because shooting with innocent bystanders behind my intended target violates two of the Four Rules of firearm safety. The only reason you are worried about over penetration is because you're some Alec Baldwin dumb ass that thinks you can delegate away your obligation to firearm safety. If you are aware of your target and beyond, and never point a weapon at anything you are unwilling to destroy, as a safe, responsible firearm owner and defender, then the amount of penetration you get is, within reason, irrelevant. Instead, you choose to compromise gun safety, ironically in the name of safety, by choosing a round with less penetration. We live in a country where 1 in 3 people is obese and nearly half are overweight. A natural fighting stance puts hands and forearms in front of the thoracic cavity, and over 150 million Americans live in a part of the country where it is appropriate to wear extra layers for 5 months or more a year. And that is not considering the possibility of intermediate barriers. And then there are dipshits lining up to carry less penetration because a compromised, underwhelming group of limp-wristed, queer bait glow bois give some arbitrary number for penetration in gel. Fine. It's your funeral. Me, I'll take 20 inches of penetration with ~150% expanded diameter any day of the week. When I carry 9mm, it's 135 gr +P Critical Duty, but mostly, I carry 10mm Auto with Underwood 200 gr XTPs, because I've killed shit with it and I know it works.

Yuppers. Very good ammo in 9mm🦃👍👊

Now those 115 might be real nasty!

I got the gold dot's, in 124 gr ✅. Hornady, american gunner 115 gr XTP, Critical Duty 135 gr flexlock, Critical Duty ➕P 124 gr flexlock, Critical Defense 115 FTX❗❗

Not sure actually. 👍🦃👊

Truthfully I don't remember but I don't think it could have been much.🦃👊👍

Critical defense rounds are what you want if your using a g43x. Critical Duty ammo is for full size “duty” guns( think g17, m&p 2.0)with 5” barrels. They might looks similar but they are designed for two very distinct purposes.

I'm sure its not perfect in all barriers. It does seem to get a little deeper than most. I have taken it to vehicle gunfighting classes and it does pretty well through auto glass! Not much deviation at all. Even in 45. And i just state the barrier blind thing because they advertise it like that for leos... What barriers have you had trouble with? And yeah penetrators and defenders are awesome!! Thanks for watching!

Take a road trip!!

@@theturkeysopinion yea they concentrate on glass more than anything, and they do good with Glass. they've had trouble with drywall, wood, metal. Xtreme defenders specifically are about 90% barrier blind wich is light years ahead of the rest. xtreme penetrators are not designed for that, they aren't barrier blind because they aren't designed for self defense against humans. BTW, thats good you took that type of class. I've experienced that situation in real life more than once. Fighting from vehicle

I'm actually considering switching over to extreme defenders primarily. After learning how good they do with cavitation and permanent wound cavity it's pretty amazing technology that I can't believe took so long to get to us. And you are right they are the most barrier blind you can get. Underwood is a little bit slim on their selections at the moment 😒 That sucks brother. Glad you made it out! I would never want to have to do that. But I bet you learned a lifetime of lessons in a few seconds!! Not many people get those classes in real life! 👍👊

@@theturkeysopinion 👊🏾

It comes through here and there at the LGS. Expensive as heck though of course

Bought 2 boxes of 25 rounds today of Critical Duty at my local store. They had like 8-10 boxes of Defense and Duty each. That’s all. Was like $37 per box….let’s go Brandon. Had some liberty civil defense in stock as well.

Just bought 4 boxes at my local gun shop bnt in ohio.they had a 4 box limit,and had a fairly decent stock.price for a box of 25 was $30.99

@@JamesLee-lk4kx Yeah somehow price has dropped some. Im paying the same price as you per box of 135 grain +P critical duty right now.

@@DD-sw1dd right on brother.the prices need to keep dropping though,or I need to start reloading lol.

True👍🦃👊

Heck yeah!! Im gonna do that one soon!👊🦃👍

👊👍🦃

Hmmm🤔🦃👍👊

Me too! Science!👍🦃👊

You could be right🦃👍👊

There is nothing to joke about with gold dot. That is one of the most consistent performing bullets I've ever seen.👍👊🦃

@@theturkeysopinion -- I would agree. Have used it for quite some time. Very confident in that round.

Nice! Thanks for the info! Real life 4 legged takedowns are valid for sure👍👊🦃

😶 🤫 they might be listening 😬😳

Cool, now explain yourself

Good stuff👍👊🦃

gold dot is one of my all time favorites.👊🦃👍
