I loved that gesture “and third” lol.
Also 2nd wasn't a conventional finger placing.
Maybe Paul is a Texas Longhorn fan ;)
DAVID MUISE love that flying third!
ALOHA on 2nd!
At time: 11:17. I thought that was slick. lol.
"And Third..."
*Flips annoying comment people off *
I can't wait for the memes
I saw that, and he did it with a straight face lol
I think he wastes his time addressing those comments. Seems like he gets triggered about comments
I see the birds are still flying. 🤣
He does EVERYTHING with a straight face.
A must watch for those of us carrying .380. Thank you. RIP Mr. Harrell.
A Paul video: great way to start the year.
paul says.... things to point out ~first safety glasses ~second hearing protection ~and third middle finger viewer criticism. paul i love you and you're awesome on stage humor
Thanks Paul! I love the .380 ammo videos. I have a .380 in my rotation now, and I'm glad to have your videos about the ammo to enlighten me, I'm not disillusioned by marketing or myths.
At the end you addressed exactly what I’m about to say. In my opinion, 3.5”-4” barrels are “Compact”. 3” barrels and below being “Subcompact”. I’m by far no self proclaimed expert. That’s just my opinion. Thanks as always Paul for yet another awesome video presentation.
I think i like the way Mr. Harrell told the self proclaimed holier than thou internet safety police to go pound sand.
Agreed! He's "Professional" after all ;) Seriously though aside from a care of keeping him around for a long time to entertain us WTF do I care if he washes he hands after handling his meat.
Elitist nannies - whether in government, academia, the media, “social justice advocacy,” or elsewhere - like to perceive themselves as helpfully concerned with others. In fact they are arrogant, insufferable and presumptuous. Simply stated, by the very fact that they “graciously” offer advice and express their concerns, they are clearly indicating that they know more about how your life should be managed and your decisions should be made than you do. If that isn’t egotistical self-superiority, what is?
Roy Kiefer that was a long winded way of calling said people Sexual Intellectuals (aka Fornicating know it alls)
@gullreefclub: Thoroughness (imho) is important - not “long winded” - especially when we’re dealing with matters (such as enlists’ disproportional policy influence and governmental overreach) that are obviously detrimental to our national unity and our freedom.
How many of those critiquing him have had bleach touch their cutting boards or countertops on a daily basis? How many wash their filthy grimy mitts before they cook? How many put their sponges through the dishwasher to get them sanitized . . . ever? 99% of food poisoning happens at home. But these people are assiduous critics of the other guy . . . always. Criticism comes easier than craftsmanship.
So I watched this just now March 2021. I just bought a box of the Remington 102 gr hollow point from a local gun shop. $69.99 a 50 round box. One box max I was happy to see they had any 380 ammo at all. While there I did ask the gun shop worker about expansion in a LCP and he said that the ammo is made to expand just for the smaller barrel gun. Proven wrong. Thanks Paul! Of course I would by it again only because any 380 acp better than none. Thinking any ball ammo good in lcp Don’t think it matters. This ammo will work great in my walther
11:16 Paul lets his safety inspectors in the audience know how he really feels about them.
You're a more patient man than I am Paul,if people kept asking me about ear plugs safety glasses then started about hand washing I'd just say "No,I never wear earplugs or safety glasses because after handling raw pork I always put my fingers in my ears and rub them in my eyes. Do that at least 3 times a day and I personally guarantee it will solve all your problems".
Pauls' wife: " Honey, why do all my blankets have holes in them? Oh and are we having ribs AGAIN for dinner?"
I want people to stop annoying Paul but I enjoy his response too much!! Thanks for being blunt!!
Priceless Harrell humor at
11:16
Thank You Sir!
Green and white box 180 grain. 100, 106, 109, 103 and 110. Now let's crunch numbers. Paul you give 110% and we appreciate it! Keep it up!
The LCP2 is my daily carry so this was a very informative video. Thanks
Defensive ammo might not expand as well in short barrels, but it still kills you and makes holes on the bad guy.
It seems to do the job, barely. More practice might not be a bad thing. (Also it’s unlikely you will ever need to defend yourself with a gun but if you do a confidence boost may actually prevent you from needing to shoot).
The LCP2 is a fine gun for self defense. I carry a 380 in summer here in Iowa due to the fact that dealing with concealing it is much easier. However, here in a cold winter climate a carhartt jacket with a hoodie, flannel shirt and long underwear shirt it's not giving confidence. Therefore I carry 9mm or 45 in winter and 380 in spring and summer. Just something to consider.
Most of the guys I know who are professionals do the same thing. Shot placement is critical with a 380, so training with it is a must.
I run fmj through mine. Seems to Do the Job
Nancy Offenhiser I run a small business and while in uniform I tuck my shirt, it’s definitely easier to conceal my LCP2 this way. It never gets cold enough constantly in SC to wear jackets all day. If I’m off work I do go untucked and will carry my S&W shield 9mm.
Thank you for shedding light on the frequently misunderstood marketing junk that ammunition makers use to fool the uninformed.
Ads often show pictures of a perfectly expanded bullet they achieved under ideal conditions and are not representative of actual performance.
I must admit, Paul does have a unique way of tenderizing his pork chops and infusing them with citrus flavor. I must try that some day..
Ironic as I have practiced Dentistry in Kentucky for 38 years. Thx for the education you have provided and firearms training- look forward to 2020!
Happy New Year Paul and team :)
Best channel on RUclips.
Thanks again Paul.
Point number three for the win!
The one down vote must've went and already bought a bunch of the "Remington Compact Handgun" ammo.
Excellent documentation for self defense ammo
Imagine the crowd size at the range and the range owner reaction if we had a come shoot with Paul Harrell meet and greet.....😂🤣😂......don't change a thing Paul.....we're all here cause you do what you do.....keep up the good work!..👍👍
Who watches a Paul Harrell video and thinks "he needs to wash his hands after handling that meat!" Your watching the wrong type of video mate, try a cooking video.
Great content as always Paul
I think you need to get a tuxedo to test 380 ACP...
I have seen documentaries where a guy in a tux is a one shot wonder with a 380.
I love those documentaries. I think I have seen them all once or twice
If you test a .380 wearing a tux, does tedious chronograph testing then come with unusual Caviar? Or still, just the usual caveats?
Clawbytes and don’t forget the martini breakfast, lunch, dinner, late night snack and in the middle of the night when he gets up to take a pee.
@Clawbytes Thank you!
Clawbytes maybe .32 is overkill lol. in the first book the tux hero got the job done with a beretta .25 acp
I like the way Paul speeds up when naming the ammo he's using like those financial disclaimers on adverts. Clear enough to understand but fast enough to get what I consider 'fluff' out of the way. Disclaimer, I'm from the UK so specific firearm details mean little to me.
@3:30 - "...and a banjo."
Now I need to know what the joke is to _that_ punch-line.
:D
Was going to make this comment, you beat me to it!!
Yeah I heard that too lol.
I had to go back and listen again, just to make sure I heard correctly. If he is NOT saying “and a banjo,” I don’t know what he IS saying. Perhaps he is speaking to his friend Joseph about all of the problems inherent to living in Virginia? After documenting traffic, taxes, high cost of living, he says “and a ban, Joe.” Or maybe he is being hip about things he would like to have perform at a party to honor veterans: “and a band, yo!”
Maybe his dog is named banjo, you can hear it barking before and after he says it
It sounds like an editing beat. Videographers like to have the on-camera person clap or say something distinctive so that they know when and where to start the take in post production.
In this case, the expected laconic snark is clearly evident. It's clearly NOT part of the presentation, but breaks from every typical form that I've seen and heard "professionals" use. I had to rewind after I was done laughing.
Super-professional evaluation and objective conclusions - very helpful!
I'm lobbying my department to stop issuing ballistic vests and replace them with a t-shirt and a layer of fleece.
"High tech fleece"
New and improved high tech police bullet stop is amazing stuff, I heard they're researching ways to make blankets and hoodies with it.
When I take a walk nights, I'm wearing a watermelon taped around my waist with a bag or oranges affixed to my back, covered by a 4X tee shirt.
@@elblancobasura ,
Better start carrying a 44 magnum revolver. I'd recommend one with at least a 4" barrel/w 6 rounds. Personally I don't like snubnose revolvers. Not enough umph. If it shows a little, oh well, it shows.
It'll put down cars, trucks, SUV's, 4X4's and people (big or small).
Heh heh, thats all you need man.
I always wear a slab of pork ribs and a bag of oranges under my sweater for ballistic protection. May not stop bullets, but it smells nice when I stand close to the bonfire.
I love Paul's videos and I don't even own a gun nor do I intend to.... I'm just here to educate myself!!! Another great informative video
Ooo meat target before even getting 2 minutes in
Had to make up for the withdraw induced by the 2 weeks break! I couldn't have waited another minute.
I know right? It was like Christmas morning,,, only better, and a lot less expensive. :)
He knows what his viewer base wants
The thing is, it was of high education value, as opposed to ballistic gellatin porn.
@1/7th -Cav. 1972C.I.B I love the new and improved fleece bullet stop.
Compact, as you suggested, is a very subjective term when applied to handguns. For example, my CZ P10c has a 4 inch barrel. That is about the maximum size I feel comfortable carrying concealed. Yet, the designation c means the manufacturer considers it a compact. If that's the standard, the results with the baby rock are exactly what Remington was aiming for. Great video that also highlights this topic
This is now my favorite channel on RUclips
High Tech Fleece Bullet Stop - FTW! Having a Ruger LCP, I appreciate this video.
Like many others, I love the way you count. Great response.
Paul throws some subtle shade....I can dig it
2 weeks, finally! I'm used to seeing the meat target faced the other way, it threw me off.
Great performance comparison. I bought a Sig P238 shortly after they came out and found the Shooting the Bull channel helped me choose the carry ammo I use in it. (Sorry to plug another channel)... I love your videos Paul, thank you
Whiskey7EDC did you pick one of the xtp loads?
@@ricksorber8343 yup... The Hornady XTP 90 gr for the .380
Whiskey7EDC I got the same bullet for my LCP. I got some of the remanufactured stuff from Freedom Munitions. I tried it on some soda jugs and it penetrates one jug deeper than the HST and Critical Defense. Once I’m sure it will work, I’ll probably get the Hornady brand.
Paul Harrell standing in the rain and flipping us the bird, doing the best gun videos on the web. Best way to start the new year .
Paul! I'd love to see a video on Soft Point vs Hollow Point ammunition as it pertains to hunting mostly, but self defense would be great too. Seems like inevitably when I go to camp I get chided on my choice and I have a feeling many others would benefit from this :) Great video as always, thank you!
i would like to see that also.
I agree, that would be interesting. I've been wanting him to elaborate on his deer hunting with handguns. 👍
Agreed
@@johnwesley1660 me too. He's talked about taking deer with service caliber handguns, which I would like to know what his results were like with the various calibers he's used. I just worry it might inspire some keyboard commandos to hit the woods with a compact 9mm and nowhere near the marksmanship or hunting experience needed to pull that off humanely.
Another awesome year of Paul Harrell videos!
Starting off with the meat targets! I knew this was going to be a great video.
I love how analytical these videos are. The concepts are clearly explained and demonstrated. The "Bob Ross of firearms" is such a fitting title.
I take it back: Bob Ross is the Paul Harrell of painting.
A good start to the new year
Mr. Harrell I really enjoy your comparisons of ammo and weapons, your scientific approach is excellent helping people understand facts much better than hear-say or inaccurate assumption. I really lined both your 10mm vs. 45 ACP and 30 carbine vs 357/556, thanks, Clint
I think Paul is trying to say, quit thinking I'm an idiot.
Yes, that is exactly what I was saying.
@@PaulHarrell sorry it's not related. But should we change the self defense ammo we carry depending on the weather? Like does the fact that ppl wear heavy coats and layers during the winter affect the performance of a bullet vs a person in light summer clothing? Iv been trying to find the answer but o cant find anything conclusive. If you have time could you speak on this? Maybe put a coat and jacket in front of the meat target to see if bullets open prematurely.
We have a presentation on "Shooting through heavy winter clothing." I think it will have the info you're looking for.
@@PaulHarrell awesome thank you Sir. That was exactly it.
@@palley253 I carry seasonal loads myself.
Good job as always thank you Paul
God bless Paul and his meat targets. Saves me $ on defense ammo. HTP & UD Remington rocks for a reasonable price
Paul is the gold standard for educating people about truth vs. marketing. I used to spend a lot of money for specialty ammo, but with my normal .380 pocket pistol, now I just carry standard ammo. Why? costs less, less likely to jam, and most likely the same result if I ever had to defend myself. It's a different story when I carry my Beretta 9mm instead, Paul's demos show very good expansion for 9mm personal protection ammo from 4 inch barrels.
Does extensive testing from an objective view make Paul a scientist? You be the judge.
No, only a government grant where you conclude global warming is real regardless of whatever the datum says makes you a "scientist." Like us, Paul is one of those insane deplorable people whom should not be allowed to own a firearm because we're too stupid to understand what the Constitution really means, i.e., only elitist politicians and extremely rich liberals who have their personal, usually government paid, bodyguards and militia are supposed to have weapons.

"Scientist - Wikipedia
A scientist is someone who conducts scientific research to advance knowledge in an area of interest. "
Don't lump me in with your shitty narrative.
If he’s not a scientist.......is it enough of a difference to make a difference?
Thanks Paul. Looks a little warm there for January.
Time waits for no man, but she patiently waits for the next Paul Harrell video to drop, just like the rest of us.
Thank you for this video Paul. It is very enlightening as far as educational purposes go. I'm looking forward to future presentations on other .380 ACP handguns.
Got my LCP loaded with the Ruger branded ARX ammo. Makes it so easy to control and almost eliminates how snappy the LCP is. I would love to see how it performs against the meat target.
Turd Ferguson if you get a chance to shoot the LCP2 give it a shot. It’s light years ahead of the original LCP. I have both
The trigger may be much easier, and it does have more of a palm swell, but the trigger on the original LCP makes it a better pocket gun choice for me....just my preference.
I've been carrying the Lehigh Xtreme Defender rounds from Underwood in my LCP. I'd like to see Paul review some solid bullet options like these against "good" hollow points in .380.
Search RUclips for ARX gel tests, if you have not done so already. Very disappointing results in spite of good ideas...……………………...elsullo
@@elsullo2 I dont conceal carry so my LCP is just a range gun/ around the house pocket pistol. I've watched videos on the ARX ammos lack luster performance but they feed like ball ammo and the recoil is significantly reduced. Its the only ammo ive tried that im confident I could get multiple shots on target with, thats if I ever used it for self defense.
Been watching a few months. Really enjoy the content. No Fluff, no BS...just info presented to draw our own conclusions...and some of your real world experience. You remind me of a 1st Sergeant we had back in Ft Carson. Crass, dry sense of humor...lol . Love the video's... From NE PA and upstate NY, have a great New Year !
Baby rock so cute! Hornady seems to do pretty good in the short barrel! Great video as always! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Just found out about Paul on RUclips after watching a whiskey fueled rant of some guy whining and getting his undies in a wad. So, many thanks to gun putz.
Binge watching now. Many thanks to Paul for doing it right!
When you are in contact with the public like you are, I imagine sometimes you want to roll your eyes so hard you can examine your own brain. Good on you for finding a better way- like point 3 🖕🤣 thank you for what you do paul. Class a stuff
Just note of for all your info. . My family and I Thank You Paul .
I was just thinking that I needed this vid. My wife's hungry gun thanks you.
In order to get better (near full) speed out of a shorter barrel the ammunition manufacturer has to either reduce the weight of the projectile, increase the chamber pressure with faster burning powder or both. To light a projectile will limit penetration. To fast of a powder burn will exceed allowable chamber pressure so (in my opinion) the best option is to work on projectile design to maximize effectiveness within the allowable limitation of physics.
hell yeah
No this guy is Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen. Good effort other guy
Been reloading for 30 years and do my own load development for my own pistols. Faster powders keep the velocities up in shorter barrel handguns. Have loads for my compact pistols for practice and home defense. Most times I carry factory ammo in my carry guns unless something is just not available and that firearm is taken out of carry rotation until such time satisfactory factory ammo is available.

Any chance of you reuploading the 2019 thanksgiving special???? I would live to finish watching it please.
Yes, Ham and Yam. I would like to see it from start to finish.

@@westcoastwarriorsarchive7929 thank you very much ! I'll see if I can find it!
@@westcoastwarriorsarchive7929 Caught it first time but still many thanks.
Or perhaps a new sub-series on dutch oven meat target cooking!
This is why those fluted little polymer bullets are nice for tiny .380s. They penetrate and cause plenty of damage without having to wonder if a hollowpoint will expand.
My guess the 357 Sig is going to get a bump up a notch or two in popularity in 2020, just saying!
Practice should get a bump this year.....not another caliber debate. 9, 40, 45, etc.....would have done just as good with good shot placement.
@@leadpoison5998 maybe not. A slight increase in performance is still an increase. I think 357 sig is the pinnacle of performance for handgun rounds that offer easy follow up shots, and I don't even own one- I carry 40. I would like to get one soon though. Have you seen the explosive first few inches in ballistic testing with 357 sig? It looks like it offers an advantage and still penetrates adequately.
@@bdubb4684 I have killed deer with various handguns up to a 44mag. On deer size game the effects of different calibers from 9mm up on deer sized game at distancses less than 25 yards is nil.
I have a Sig P229 in 357 sig. I like it though the grip is a bit small for my hand; it being a compact pistol.
Only short term I believe. The ammo just cost too much for most people. I've owned 3- 2 Sigs and a Glock. It is a hard hitting round.
I would love to see a presentation on the Smith and Wesson M&P Shield EZ in .380 ACP. This is the handgun my wife carries.
Happy New Year Paul.
Here’s to a great new year
Sir , the world is full of winners and baby’s . Enjoy your videos a great deal . Thanks for keeping it real . Also from one vet to another !
Thank you for your service , And keep up the great work.
Chip
Woohoo Paul you are the man ! Question, do you plan on reviewing or comparing the new Ruger 57 to the FN . I know you are a fan of the 5.7 round and thought the new gun might peak your interest.
And maybe their iteration of the 21a
Woa! I wan'na try these Rems in my Mustang Pocketlite. Great vid, Ty.
Part of the problem is that we don't have a solid definition of "compact" when it comes to handguns. There are guns larger than both of those that manufacturers are still calling "compact".
There isn't really a set guideline for handgun sizes we just let the manufacturers decide.
It's the same with shoes sizes, and clothing sizes in general...no real industry standard. But, in the case of handguns, a 6" barrel is not compact. So, it would have to be less than 6 inches. I consider a compact handgun to be around 4". I consider the 2" barrel to be sub-compact. It would be unrealistic to expect high performance from a 2" barrel, such as hollow points expanding, unless they start loading ammo with powder that burns entirely (or almost) in that 2 inches, which I'm not sure they make that kind of gun powder. I wonder how fast black powder burns....showing my ignorance.
@@mu99ins i would definitely say clothes and shoe sizes are a little more uniform.
The fact that both a ruger lcp, and a glock 19 are considered compact by their manufacturer is ridiculous. The two are nowhere near the same size. I personally wouldn't call a 4 inch barrel compact. Most full sized handguns fall in the four inch range (ppq xd many glocks p320) five inch is usually a long slide, or extra large gun. (G34 q5match ect. ect.) It's when you get to the smaller guns it all gets tricky. A G19 is about the same size as a G43 until you consider width. I usually call it sub compact when you switch to single stack (at least in 9mm or .380acp) and maintain that compact size. In my mind a compact is a gun I can't get my pinky on without a mag extension. I usually put the lpc or similar sized pistols in its own category. Mouse gun/pocket pistol. They are much smaller than your average subcompact.
The thing I find funny is that you can have two guns of nearly identical size and weight, mp shield 9mm and the glock 43, glock calls the 43 sub compact, smith calls the M&P compact. It makes it confusing and I often avoid the terms all together so that I don't have to argue.
@@Alex9501950 - A shirt size made in the orient may well be smaller than a shirt size made in America, but so few articles of clothing are made
in America. They vary quite a bit. As somebody with extremely wide feet (4 7/8" at the ball of the foot), I know that a New Balance 4E can be wider
than a competitor claiming their shoe is 6E. I know this by experience, and it's cost me plenty of money finding out. I talked with a shoemaker,
whose family has been in the business for generations, and was a member of some national board of shoe standards, which I can't recall...it's been
a quarter century since we had the conversation, and he said there are no enforceable standards in shoes.
With firearms, we would have to determine the criteria, which is probably different from one gun maker to the next. You seem to associate,
quite logically, that compactness refers to the overall dimensions of the firearm, and I associate it with barrel length. My prejudice
is that any handgun with less than a 6" barrel is a compromise which sacrifices power for ease of carry, or compactness. I don't consider
the prevalence of short barrelled handguns to be a factor in what should be called compact. I consider a snub-nosed revolver as something that
is extreme, and called it sub-compact, but that's just opinion.
I love the flip off to the "Paul did you wash your hands?" Questioner 😂😂😂. Great video Paul keep em coming.
I'd be interested in seeing the inverse of this, hand-loads with larger quantities of slower burning powders to try and get more velocity from pistol caliber carbines.
Very interesting, Paul and crew. Thanks. As an aside: I always figured that you washed your hands after handling the meat target. No doubt in my mind.
This stuff in .40 S&W is showing some great numbers on the Lucky Gunner website
Try Precision One XTP .380
That's what I feed my subcompact .40 with. It was cheap for premium defensive ammo when I got it, so even if it's no better than the regular Ultimate Defense, I'm still happy with it.
That was the Grand Champion winner in ShootingTheBull's exhaustive testing of the available self-defense loads a couple of years ago. Then came the expensive Underwood Extreme Defense bullet, looking impressive but awaiting real-world results...……………………….elsullo
@@elsullo2 I had to special order the Precision One.
Great review, Paul. I'm not a big fan of the .380, but, as you ably demonstrate, with the right arm and ammunition, it is a viable duo. Many years ago I owned a Colt 1908 .38 with a 3.7 inch barrel. With
the old (now defunct) "Super-Vel" brand ammo, the results were surprisingly good. In fact FMJ ammo penetrated old (1950s) car bodies BETTER then Super-Vel 9mm HPs. Thanks for your time and energy in educating people on the upgrades in .380 ammo and barrel length differences - most reviewers don't take
the time to review .380s this well. (As a life-long hunter / reloader - I'm now 71- and very amateur ammo tester, I appreciate all your vids and the practical nature of your personal evaluations. Thanks again! -Ray (from the mountains of SW Colorado)
The "Annnnd Third" flipping the bird hand signal....FREAKING PRICELESS! Ahhhhhhhh CARRY ON....AS YOU WERE!
Only Paul Harrell can flip the bird and make it look classy.
@@416loren so very true!
Very interesting an thanks for the knowledge about 380 ACP ammo , Mr. Harrell !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somewhere there's a small factory cranking out meat targets. Bless them! LOL.
Lol!
Really, though, I'd love to hear of more LE academies using these things to demonstrate what happens when you send rounds at a real target. Of the younger cops I've interacted with, some take it deadly serious... And some really need to start.
I know when I am at the range, I usually don't notice too many birds in the area. But when Paul Harrell is at the range, there is always a good chance that a bird or 2 will fly in front of the camera. At least those birds in the video have a good message.
Looked to me like the Hornady was superior to the Remington.
Yeah, I love the .380, have no idea why, and I've watched TONS of videos on it and read on it and I even have shot into water to collect bullets and for people that want to carry .380 I only recommend either Hornady with the insert in the bullet or full metal jacket.
Some like the Leahigh defense ammo and that's a good choice as well, but it's a bit pricey and not something for those that worry about over penetration.
I’ve watched all of paul’s videos comparing 380 and 9mm ammo. No, I don’t take notes but it seems to be that in terms of overall performance in a short 380, the hornady is always at least comparable and usually better than the hyped ammo. I don’t feel like keeping track of the “which ammo is marginally better in which gun.” I’ll pay for quality self defense ammo and shoot cheap stuff at the range. As our leader has noted repeatedly--
“Shoot good ammo in a good gun that you’re reasonably proficient with.” He obviously has extreme proficiency and could probably get away with shooting rubber bands at the bad guys. (Good idea for the meat target?) me-not so much.
@@CptainCrunch ,
Full metal jacket will work. A through and through hole in a person is a grievous wound. Two or three through and through holes are even more grievous.
Miner Blue ...and people who focus on ballistic gel tests forget how incapacitating a couple of broken ribs can be to a badguy. In my experience, FMJ striking bone transforms aggression to self-preservation quite rapidly.
The results of the FBI’s 1986 Miami firefight absolutely indicate that IMMEDIATE INCAPACITATION - which is both crucial and decisive in defensive encounters - almost certainly depends on the tenacity of the individual(s), not on the gravity of the wound(s) alone. While it is clear that damage to the CNS and the heart will rapidly and near-invariably terminate the fight, the two felons in Miami were hit six and twelve times (respectively), yet they murdered two Special Agents and wounded five others (before dying). Therefore, I’m most skeptical concerning “through and through” wounds, broken ribs, and so forth ensuring success in defensive encounters. To illustrate this, a untreated wound to the liver is extremely likely eventually to kill the assailant, but it may take considerable time to do so. In those minutes, the miscreant can do GREAT HARM to innocents.
My points are simple:
- some humans will give up easily, but other clearly will not;
- if one’s defensive engagement happens to be with a indomitable, hardened individual, then broken ribs, through-and-through wounds, etc. may not be decisive within the required timeframe; therefore
- I won’t depend on less than near-instantaneous incapacitation in life-threatening defensive scenarios.
Seems like Paul always knows what i wanna see! I recently bought some of this Remington Compact Handgun ammo, and wondered exactly what the real world effectiveness of it would be. Since i don't have a chronograph, or a meat target. This was exceptional information as usual. Thanks Paul 👍😲 always look forward to your videos.
Can you imagine going to the dentist office for a cleaning and Paul comes around the corner and tells you to floss more and brush three times per day. My teeth would be brushed down to nubs and my gums would be permanently cut to pieces with floss. 🤪
Lol it blows my mind he's a dental assistant 🤣🤣
Great video. Thanks Paul !
Love the middle finger for your 3rd disclaimer on sanitization. We know what you’re really saying to those people. Lol!
I mainly practice point and shoot with one hand up to 15 ft at the range with my LCP (aka lemon peel squirter) with Winchester 95 grain flat point jacketed rounds. I believe that is a more likely scenario in which I would be using this firearm. I wish they made a lighter flat soft (non jacketed) pointed jacketed rounds to increase speed and reduce recoil and the soft point would splash and expand nicely as in 85 grain 327 magnum application...
Given the size limitations of LCP, flat point is a good compromise between cost, effectiveness and to limit pass through. I also do 20 sit-ups while holding my breath to simulate a stressful situation and pickup the gun from the bench just before shooting since drawing from concealment is not allowed at my indoor range.
Love it! First, second, and Bird.

Another great video from Mr. Harrell. Objective evidence coupled with well-reasoned opinions. Thanks for the presentation. My takeaway: If you have to defend your life or loved ones and all you have is a pistol chambered in .380 ACP, it’s certainly better than having no firearm at all, but there are better caliber options. Not an issue Mr. Harrell hasn’t covered before, but until watching this I’d never even heard of the UC line of ammo, so it just reinforces that belief.
What sort of person dislikes a Paul Harrell video?
SMH!!

COMMUNISTS!
Soy fed liberals
... and girly men.
@@search4truth616 I mean, why click on the the video if you don't like it? All freedom loving folk love Paul's videos...
*_Damn commies!!_*

Great info from a great man. Mr. Paul Harrell he makes you wanna go get babyrock 380 and ask yourself why you ever bought that diamondback 380. But then again this gun does fit his hand better then that one does.
If I ever meet Paul I’m gonna get to the bottom of this earplug case controversy
That, and I'm always curious about Wilbur Force, the stalker.
He said he wears them... on his jacket.
votekyle3000 ... my ear plug case is my wife’s blood sugar test strip canister with a hole drilled in the flip tap and a ball chain through it to hang off the button hole of my jacket.
votekyle3000 Paul will probably give you the finger directly to your face instead of through his RUclips video. :=)
Those ear plugs were standard issue back in the 1990’s.
As usual, yours are the most thorough and professional presentations in this area of interest on RUclips. Thank you!
Hello Mr. Harrell!
Excellent! Nice to see that HCD out of my Bersa is still a good choice. Thanks Paul and Happy New Year!
Gonna ask again that you run a test with Underwood Ammo's 90 grain XTP +P. They are tremendously hot, but I want to know if they actually work.
I love'em!!! love the subtle visuals. But, hey, what can you expect when we live in a Nanny State.
Has Paul shot SIG Elite Performance (380) in the meat target in any of his previous videos? If not consider it a request. If so, which one?
Only the 9
Second that. Buying an EZ for my lady.
Need data.
The xtp and ftx bullet have been proven to be some of the most reliable .380 hp's on the market. Id recommend taking a look at those.
Stay away from sig ammo imo, they haven’t been in the “ammo” game long enough. V-crown gets hung up in every thing I try it in and just ended up switching. Hornady for the win
@@dudeoutdoors6441 ShootingTheBull410 has done a lot of 380 ammo testing on his channel.
Excellent video and very informative. I just bought a RUGER LCP MAX .380. for pocket carry.
