🧵🪡 So a disappointing but excellent scenario, ordered 300 rounds #lehighdefense 90gr 9mm Extreme defense ammo with their Black Friday sale to try, sadly right before the ammo arrived, I got an email (attached), the lot I had ordered failed their QC tests for reliability

Kudos to them for catching the QC problem, also their resolution is to fully refund our orders and encourage their customer to shoot the ammo. So that means one thing to my ballistic nerd brain, Testing!! I will be using many procedures from @wayofftheres tests that he has posted

in his excellent articles on @GunsAmerica. I do not throw that word around lightly, as while I don’t have any operational experience, I have worked in the gun industry for many years, which created a lifelong fascination with terminal ballistics.

So @wayofftheres any ideas for testing that you didnt get a chance to try with the G9 rounds? My current list is, Car Door. Car side window vs. windshield, Soft armor (just cuz), Plywood, Heavy clothing, Typical interior Sheetrock wall,
Side of pork prepared per Dr. Martin recipe

@wayofftheres For the barrier shots, should I try to get ahold of ballistic gel to try to be able to test not just the deviation of the bullet but weight retention/approximate penetration? Any other thoughts crew? This will take a bit as my wallet will be the limiting factor

While I’m thinking of it i really should try to get access to some other interesting ammo while I’m at it. This is getting expensive. gunsamerica.com/digest/g9-bull…
