Personal Protection: Spear Gold Dot 5.7x28 JHP 

Finally...I was starting to have withdrawals

I was so worried the fruit cakes got him . What a Relief . 😅

We are in an extreme Ammo shortage and Paul is shooting several types of 5.7 ammo. What a baller!

People have mentioned 5.7X28 vs. Body armor. We have demonstrated that in multiple presentations.

I genuinely appreciate this evaluation. 🍻

2 vids in 5 seconds, today is a good day.

I don't know about anyone else, but I really love the echo of the gunshots kind of peaceful and soothing

2 Paul Harrell videos in one day! Things don’t seem so bleak.

Drop everything and learn from the master!

I came for the tedium. Proceed.

I like that other channels are starting to build their own meat targets and they give credit to Paul for the idea.

paul is still my main go to channel for real info.

Paul still must have better eyesight than me. He is twenty feet away with the sun in his eyes and isn't having any issues.

and the perfect ammo to test with the P50 that comes in March...

Paul mentions overpenetration of the speer, while this is an issue in some circumstances, it can be ideal in others... taken from Speer description - This 5.7x28mm round will dominate a threat thanks to its 40 grain jacketed hollow point projectile. As the world’s first true bonded core bullet, the Gold Dot’s electrochemically merged jacket and core resist splitting apart throughout terminal penetration. This round’s tough bullet even retains the vast majority of its weight after having smashed through auto glass, ensuring it can always inflict a deep wound cavity within its final target. and since people ten to carry in daily life, which means traveling by car alot! or say a great motorcycle gun for those road ragers.... i can se carrying a mag of 20+ of these speer rounds.

Informative, and entertaining, yes. "Tedious"? never

Sign at Paul's butcher shop: "Roast, Chops, Meat Target."

Sitting on thousands of rounds of various 17HMR ammo, I wish some company would make a 17 semi auto pistol. Great presentation as always Paul, thank you

My girlfriend thinks it’s weird that I enjoy watching Paul review ammunition in a caliber I don’t own and don’t plan on buying. I can’t help it. Listening to this guy is just so relaxing. It’s been said many times, but he’s truly the Bob Ross of guns. 😄🌳☁️🏔

I appreciate my dusty SW snub nose 38 more now than 15 minutes ago. But I get your point.

And yes, the deer were wearing t-shirts, while resting comfortably on a pile of neatly folded fleece blankets.

The Gun Professor never disappoints. Thank You.

thanks

What's better than a Paul Harrell upload? Two in the same minute! 🥲

I'm a simple man. Paul uploads I like and watch. In that order.

Man this dude is the most thorough shooter out there. Great stuff man

I'm glad you compared that round to the .38 Special from a snubbie. That really put things in perspective. Thank you.

I work in a large emergency department, I had a young man come in shot at 20 yards in the chest with a 5.7x28 40gr vmax. There was so much damage nothing could be done to save him. Absolutely devestating wound but no over penetration. He broke into the wrong house!!!

I suspect until the ammo situation is resolved we are gonna see Paul get very creative to come up with videos

It’s been over 2 weeks, I was getting worried. It’s awesome to see 2 videos drop!!!

New Paul Harrell video, huzzah. 2021 hadn't officially begun until today.

Paul, your evaluations are greatly appreciated. Keep them coming...

Hot damn Paul Harrell is back! Great video as always

From one CIB’er to another, thank you for your service and the services you provide here on YT. I recently picked up a P50 and look forward to testing the GD’s to the Vanguard Fang’s.

Thank you, Paul. I always learn a great deal from your presentations.

Thank you Paul for this video as I have always wondered about the Gold Dot 5.7 ammo. Also thank you for standing out there in the bitter cold to shoot a video for all of us to enjoy. Mostly, thank you for using up some very precious ammo to shoot for this video, especially in a caliber that might not be back on the shelves for years to come.

First sighting of the meat target in 2021

I want a meat target explanation T shirt

Thank you Mr. Harrell you have the best most informative and fun gun channel around! I always look forward to seeing all the things you can teach us! 👍👍

Great information as always. You completed plenty of testing to give viewers a really good look at what each round can do in terms of energy delivered, damage done and penetration. Well done.

Love the echo of the muzzle blast

I don't even own a 5.7 but I still watched the video anyway! Beautiful scenery and great information. Keep up the good work Paul!

By far the most informative gun channel on youtube. Great work!

Excellent video Mr. Harrell. I appreciate the lesson you provided today. Keep up the strong work!

I was afraid that something might have happened to Grandmaster Paul. So glad to see that he's okay.

Meat Target: All right 2021. This is going to be my year, I can feel it. Paul: Walk in with a 5.7. Meat Target: FML.

Hi Paul, just stumbled across your channel a few days ago. You are ASTOUNDINGLY GOOD!!! Nice to see good information presented in a way that's easy to relate to no matter what your level of experience is. Setting up to binge watch for the weekend

Thankyou for everything you do Mr Harrell all of your supporters truly love and appreciate all of your hard work and dedication Godspeed friend Godspeed

Paul Harrel - The new Gunner's Guru.

"I have shot deer with a snub nose 38".. that's impressive

And another great reason why I suggestive to your channel! You always have a way of fair and yet we'll put together comparisons. Great job!!!

Genuine, honest, professional observation.. I think many can see we appreciate your insight. Thumbs up @Paul Harrell

Paul has to be my favourite firearm related youtuber. He has tremendous talking skills. Talks in such a way that I take everything in and do not tire of the subject. Im currently in the UK and own seveal firearms for myself but the dream is to move to the states, fingers crossed next year if I remain employed and I keep saving

A beautiful sunny day to go shooting and what a wonderful location🇺🇸🙏🏻

Welcome back Paul. I hope all went well for you over the holidays. Looking forward to more of your vids.

Glad to see you back in the saddle. Thanks for the presentation.

The way you keep your eyes focused on the camera while grabbing everything on the table is just boss.

The best ammo tests in the universe Lol Thanks Paul.

By far one of the most concise, informative, and professional presenters on RU-vid.

Thanks for the upload! Needed this

7:16 The definition of the “meat target” is my favorite thing to have Paul explain.

As always; great review! I haven't seen the Meat Target in so long that I was excited to see it!

Thank you Paul. Hope you had a great holiday season. Take care and stay well.

“This comes with the normal caveats...” But...no yabbits?

Misread the title as "Personal Protection Spear." I'm a little disapointed but still a great video as always.

this video's opening is PRECISELY why i love your content. you speak clearly, concisely, and you simply state the facts as fairly as you can manage. thanks for the vid

I am glad to see another video from you.

Love to see that FK Brno 7.5 in Paul's hands, or mine for that matter.

I watch every vid front to back without exception. I also go back and rewatch for reference. Why because his tests are repeatable and verifiable and that's what science is all about.

As usual another great video , thank you and God bless you, Paul .

Nice video Mr. Harrell !!! Always enjoy new content, thank you.

Paul, I love your personality and humor! You are clearly an expert and the fact you put up with these num-nuts and their asinine comments, clearly demonstrates you have an incredible amount of patience. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for all you do Paul. I think you're far more important than most are willing to admit. I wish we had more people like yourself directly involved in the 2A fight.

Yay! Finally a new PH vid! Very interesting comparison and results. Thanks Paul. I am also in awe of your ability to control muzzle rise on that Ruger in the last comparison...might have just as well been shooting .22LR.

Good to see two new videos. I hope that you had a great holiday, Paul.

2 dislikes, Caleb must have gotten a backup account ;)

Did i just see 2 Paul videos in one day? It must be second Christmas!

Thank you for the video Paul. Happy new year to everyone!

At least you picked a day it wasn't raining! Thanks Paul!

Man, this guy is a certified legendary BADASS!

I see Pauls video I like Pauls video. Instantly

Perfect timing Paul, I've got a Ruger 57 and a GP100 357/38 sp. in transit to my FFL as I post. Always very informative videos and much appreciated.

I always watch the chronograph thanks for time spent.

There is one other significant advantage to the 5.7 over larger diameter rounds such as the .38 Special... long range trajectory. A lot less aim compensation to be accounted for with a projectile having a muzzle speed of @ +1600 fps than those below 1000. Perhaps a future presentation demonstrating how 'flat' shooting the 5.7 x 28 can be compared to a larger caliber round such as the 9x19 at ranges beyond 50 yards is on tap for later this year ?

Oh HELLS YEAH! Thursday came early this week!

Never go that long without a video again!! Great video!!

Thanks Paul! I hope you have a great year Sir

Thank god I can get my fix finally!!!

Thank the lord, Paul Harrell is back. Our nation was tearing at the seams without him

Educational and entertaining as always, thanks Paul.

Thanks for the work and the resulting information, Paul and The Crew.

It might help your metrics and drive viewership if you started linking to your other videos. Watching this made me want to go back and re-watch the ruger vs FN video. It would be super handy if you included a link in the description or something. Just food for thought. Love your content, keep up the good work!

13:10 Those were the most expensive 10 seconds I've seen lately.

Always enjoy your lessons, Paul!! Thanks again 👍😎👏

I love every second of your videos.. Including the chronograph.. I find it very informative

Caleb Giddings, "REEEEEEEEEE, someone having fun??? REEEEEEE!!!"

I recently purchased a rugher 5.7x28 pistol and to go with it a ruger lc 5.7x28 carbine using the same mags as the pistol. Excellent video as usual. Been a toss up for me as to what to use in them either the fn 40 grain vmax or the gold dot. And as far as your meat target. It lends alot better realistic simulation as to the effects on a body vs ballistics gel I would say. So those opposed can go away whichever direction they like.

Always stoked to see Paul’s videos

Always a relaxing video keep up the great work!!
