Cut Your Carry Ammo Weight By 25% & Add More Power #shorts

No thanks. Those underwood bullets are notorious for over penetration. Remember, even in a self defense situation, you're responsible for where your bullets go. Even after exiting a bad guy. It does you no good to shoot an attacker and then go to prison because one of your bullets hit an innocent person nearby.

Paul Harrell has done some good testing on ultra light ammo like this. People should be aware that it will probably hit the target in a significantly different location than standard weight bullets. That can make practicing with standard weight ammo and then carrying this problematic.

The Canadian Forces say a full standard is considered 7 mags. On your body and webbing. The section training Sergeant said in the theater of war you will want to carry as much as you can sustainably carry.

That Underwood is almost half the grain weight of your most typical training ammo. You have to understand that if you practice with “target rounds” and load up special “defensive ammunition” when you’re done shooting, you’re introducing even more variable factors for a self defense scenario. If you’re used to training with 115g or 124g, the second you use 68g in self defense, you have a brand new recoil impulse, brand new holds, and at distance, brand new point of impact. I guess if you just never practice or just never use your gun in self defense then it doesn’t really matter either way. But if you use the same ammunition for both practice and self defense, you’re actually doing it right.

Ummm, no. Lighter bullets retain less KE. In addition, they deflect easier. A 147gr 9mm is going to do a lot more damage than a fast, light round.

honestly, unless you carry severl magazines I don't feel like this would make a noticeable enough difference

I was chasing elk in the Montana mountains and got so worn out that I was considering ditching my pistol under a rock and coming back in the spring to get it. Weight is the devil.

I use Underwood because of this reason and the ballistics tests. Also this ammo is the fastest on the market. I have been running this for awhile

[SgtRudySmithbRet]

Is that out of a 4in barrel or a 16in barrel? I've seen some shady S from gun and ammo manufacturers.

I'm sure Underwood is good stuff. However if you have participated in IDPA shooting sports you will know having a heavier projectile is equal to less recoil. This equates to being able to stay on target with multiple shots. Always remember the value of being able to stay on target. Good work MP !

[KyleCOO]

Don’t do it…. Those tiny bits of weight equals more stopping power on already unpowered pistol rounds.

In the Heat of the Moment, who cares? Ball gets them all.

[hansblitz]

I carry the stuff that punches 3-A,
The meth gremlins are getting that ebay armor more frequently.

Don't forget about Liberty civil defense. Another gr8 light weight +P round in 9mm.👍

[roblowe]

My Glock 17 hates +P so I just deal with the weight. My sig loves +p though. Make sure your gun can run it 1st people. You don't want to save weight and have miss fires when you really can't afford a moss fire or jam.

[ricksmith]

Good idea, I’ve been wanting to try this stuff for awhile now

[jollyroger]

This light of a projectile will probably have a different zero than more standard ammo. So unless you train with really light projectiles this may be a bad move

[ericshurtz]

If you like that stuff you should try Liberty civil defense the 9 mm is going 2000 feet per second and the projectile is 50 grain I believe should be quite light in a fully loaded magazine

[twa]

It's great ammo but you might want to keep in mind that it is prone to overpenetration. So if you're in an urban environment it could be an extreme liability as well.

I thought the best way to ditch some weight was not wear underwear, but I think this method will work too!! Commando!
