MOST GOOD DEFENSIVE AMMO IS @ 1.00 A ROUND NOW DAYS. I SHOT THIS THROUGH A 4X4 FROM 15 FEET. WENT RIGHT THROUGH. AT THE SAME DISTANCE, I SHOT A GALLON JUG OF WATER. THERE WAS AN ENTRANCE HOLE, BUT NO EXIT HOLE.THE JUG SPLIT AND THE JACKET LAY IN THE BOTTOM. NO FRAGMENTS WERE FOUND. IF I HAVE TO USE THIS FOR DEFENSE, THAT'S WHERE I WANT THE ENERGY TO STAY.

I used this ammo because I couldn't find any period! There wasn't anything outstanding, just the same as a regular hollowpoint. If the price was half, it might be worth it, but not what I paid for it. Can buy 3 boxes of Winchester white box hollowpoints for what I paid for these.

Lots of misfeeds, and a couple of duds when testing. Wouldn't put my life on the line with this junk.

This stuff did not hold a candle to hydrashock and cost twice as much. I feel like a bafoon for spending up on a box. You guys must however read through these storys down below. One guy claims he shot through a Cat engine block Bwhahaha and the other claims he shot a haf of steer and it blew it apart were he could find nothing..Lol good stuff.

If you should use this ammo in a defense scenario I certainly hope you have access to a good attorney. You will need one. I find that the marketing for this ammo to be utterly immature and borderline offensive. (the two sexy armed models on the box is as childish as tasteless) Self defense is serious business. I recommend purchasing ammo from a manufacturer that has integrity.

Watermelons are far from real "melons" and as far as we could tell whether you used this ammo or Wolf ammo(and we all know their quality) the perp would be just as dead, however your pocket book would be a little lighter. As far as an organic target, we went a few slices of "salami" thicker and substituted it with a pork shoulder.. "bone in" and much like any other 9mm ammo, it punched straight through. We cut the roast in half along the wound channel to look for the reported 5" crater and found a 9mm hole the length of the roast. Solid targets reacted as described. For better or for worse I guess we did not quite get the "bang for the buck" we expected.

Accuracy wasn't any better than standard cheap ammo. plus its so expensive

This ammo went through a 8x8 and exploded in a watermelon. I made a fake wall with insulation and it didn't go through. This is great home defence Ammo.

All that I have to say is this ammo is great. Forget about all of the other ammo out there, if you want a carry load this is the only one that you will ever need. Great for home defense also.

This ammo is unreal. I would feel sorry for someone on the receiving end of this 9mm ammo, it completely destroys any soft target.

OK - I was really skeptical about this ammo and the price is really high but I picked up a couple of boxes just to try it out and see what all the hype was. This stuff is amazing. You can shoot at a metal plate from a couple feet away and no ricochet because the bullet becomes a cloud of powder on impact. But on a softer target (a watermelon) a single shot of 9mm just vaporized the melon. I have not tried any of the rifle DRT ammo and my experience with the 9mm handgun ammo is limited to just trying out 2 boxes on various targets but from my limited experience, I'd say this stuff is fantastic ammo.
