    Norma 9mm 108 grain mph is still a good self or home defense ammo. It can do huge damages no matter how light. There’s more proof of expansion than just fmj results. Still great. These light hollow point bullets are faster with its remarkable copper expansion. And PSA price is the best deal I’ve ever got for this ammo.👍

    Those are awesome! I've never seen them in the shelf anywhere. No apologies necessary. Do what you can do and those people that support you will be here. Have a great weekend!

      Thank you so much! You are so kind and I greatly appreciate it. I have not seen them on the shelves here either. Who Tee Who gave these to me. I am not sure if he got them online or at a big store like Bass Pro or Smokey Mountain Knife works. He has a large channel and might have a sponsor. I appreciate you watching and wish you and yours the very best. :-)

    It was a fun video. I'm looking forward to the other rounds being tested in future videos. As for testing, most people have no idea how complex and uncertain any sort of testing is. What ultimately happens is that people end up settling on a compromise test. But that expansion was very impressive.

      I love testing these rounds. You are right there is no perfect test but I think the more we test in different test mediums the better picture it paints us. I am not against Norma or any of these other rounds I test but the tried and true Hornady and Speer Gold Dot are hard to beat. They have been used in many police and self defense shootings in actual human targets and they always usually perform well. Hopefully we never need these rounds in a self defense situation to find out but knowledge is power. :-)

    Hey Patriot; That was a fine test. Don't let those who gripe about your choices, actions, methods or equipment. I beleive they're just jealous that you have the dedication and zeal to actually do the testing you do. And, you and the Mrs. bring it to them for free! What do they have to complain about? Keep up the good work you two. God bless

    I appreciate the time you take to do this video. I’m looking to test my rounds with water and denim. But how may jugs of water do you think I need ?
    Thank you for your time and looking forward to hear you.

    • @TheKentuckyPatriot
      @TheKentuckyPatriot  4 года назад +1

      It is hard to say an exact number because the round may not go through the same amount of jugs each time. It will also depend on if the round expands or not. It should expand consistently if you are using water jugs only but when you add denim or meat targets in front of the jugs the results may vary. The amount of test you are planning will also need to be taken into consideration. I wasn't sure if you were going to shoot one round into denim and water or 30 rounds. If you are just using a couple layers of denim and stacked water jugs per shot I would say 4 jugs should do the trick but I think I would start with 5 just in case. That way if it don't go that far and harm the 5th jug you can just carry it over to the next test. Thanks for watching :-)

    Enjoyed the video as usual. I think I will stick with my Speer gold dot rounds. I found the performance to be quite good on everything from old turkeys to frozen water jugs that I shot.

    • @TheKentuckyPatriot
      @TheKentuckyPatriot  4 года назад +1

      I mentioned this earlier in response to another comment. The Hornady and Speer Gold Dot rounds are tried and true. It is important to test rounds but they have had the ultimate test being used in many police and self defense shootings and they usually always perform well. Thanks for watching :-)

  • @jeremiah7855

    Before I watch I've seen where these don't expan in denim so let's see how this goes on sale on norma website for $9 per 20 rds so I thought about getting 20 boxes not sure

    • @TheKentuckyPatriot
      @TheKentuckyPatriot  Год назад

      I am gonna be honest. I have found these rounds to be inconsistent. I can shoot one round and it will expand. I can shoot the next one and it will not. I think they have a great idea just need to work out some the kinks. Thanks for watching :-)

    Great video brother! Your effort to getting videos is fantastic, especially with a full dance card like you have! Nosler and Barnes are another few lesser known, or used I should say, ammunition for defensive rounds.

    The norma doesnt like my S&W 9mm ez magazines for some reason! the spring doesn't push them to the top after each ejection. Ive seen Norma expansion issues on other channels with denim also... but maybe it was a fluke... my best advice is to empty the clip for better chances on expansion. LOL

    • @TheKentuckyPatriot
      @TheKentuckyPatriot  3 года назад

      I didn't have any reliability issues with it but I never could get consistent expansion. I made a couple videos and with no rhyme or reason one round would expand tremendously and the next round would not expand at all. Thanks for watching and I wish you and yours the very best :-)

    Good video. Those round worked well. Plus, I think you are on to something: Go to Rural King, pick up a pair of jeans for ~$10, put a few 9 mm's thru them and resell them as 2A designer jeans, or 9 mm jeans, for $25, maybe more. I think you might have a good new business! Take care.
