Amateur shooter here. I've watched 100's of videos from probably as many shooters. Just started watching Harrell's videos. I have learned more from EACH one of his than all the others combined. He is a true teacher and his knowledge is unparalleled. Outstanding!
If the objective of a .40 S&W was to get .45ACP like performance out of a 9mm framed pistol, as opposed to outperform a .45 ACP, I'd say the round delivered in spades.
I love how logical, calm and intelligent you are, in any subject you choose to discuss. It shows your due diligence on the matter, and your dedication to truly educating people. Specially in a field, which involves potential lives at risk. Thank you, and keep up your fantastic work.
Paul once picked up 12 ribs, 6 t-shirts, 24 soda jugs, 6 watermelons, and 6 pig ears. When the clerk asked him what he was gonna do with all of those bizarre items, he simply said:
A buddy was buying a pistol at a local shop a while back and he told me the story. A guy mentioned that he wanted a self defense pistol but it had to be accurate to 60 yards. And some other guy spoke up and said, "if you think 60 yards counts as self defense, what you'll need is a really good lawyer.". That popped up in my brain when you mentioned 60 yard bulket drop.
As always very thorough. I was trained in the early 1970's, the old FBI style, revolvers out to 60 yards. In real life my longest gunfight was 12 feet, 3 under 10 ft and 2 at about 4 ft. Believe it or not I was trained to use a 1911 out to 100 yards. I've used only used 2 calibers in those gunfights a 357 S&W model 27 and a 1911. As good as both those calibers are, I cursed my stupidity for not having my 870 12 ga. Fortunately for me the good Lord and luck kept me safe.
You are a absolute gem to the documentary presentation enjoying gun nuts. I really appreciate your dedication, it's like watching PBS, when PBS was PBS.

Checker at store: "That man goes through more soda than anyone I've ever seen. I wonder how he stays so skinny..."

Is this guy a great teacher or what? You be the judge!

My 3 year old daughter watches Paul's videos with me. She calls him "Paul Harrell, the Gentleman".
Just found this channel. Not disappointed.
Both calibers with quality hollow point ammo that's proven to expand well, are sledgehammers on human targets.....can't go wrong with either.
Did we just get through a Paul Harrell video with NO rain?!
The difference between these two calibers for me is this:

Paul is amazing. He presents you with data and always says "you be the judge."
"I'll let you be the judge"

Based on this excellent fact based video, I can’t justify from a pricing point, buying a .45. I am satisfied with my .40 S&W.

Excellent presentation as always! I am always down with the no nonsense, just present the facts style. Paul Harrell Rocks.
60 yards with a pistol, that's impressive! You be the judge...
