We tested the Lehigh Defense 194 GR. Maximum Expansion Sub Sonic Bullet out of a 16-inch 300 Blackout with a Quell Suppressor. It traveled at a muzzle velocity of 1000 feet per second. We shot it into a FBI protocol 20" Ballistic Gel block. It proved that the Maximum Expansion bullet yields devastating results. Our Maximum Expansion® Technology is used to produce projectiles that create the largest wound channels of any bullet on the market. These cavernous hollow points are designed to expand upon contact with a fluid-based medium through hydraulic energy. They do not expand on dry mediums like wood, drywall, bone, or sheet metal. The expansion process of Lehigh's Maximum Expansion technology is very different than that of a traditional lead jacketed bullet that expands when it comes in contact with a hard surface – we designed these bullets to expand where the expansion is needed and that is in the vital zone of your intended target. Lehigh Maximum Expansion bullets expand with razor sharp petals positioned AND maintained at the largest diameter to provide the greatest cutting surface. Contrast this with a traditional jacketed bullet that expands and quickly mushrooms the nose back along the bullets shank once again reducing the diameter down to a less effective size. Through design and testing, we can move the expansion point and maintain the expansion diameter exactly where required providing the optimum terminal performance for the specific application.

The SFX9 HC 3.25” Solid Frame X-TAC 15-Round 9mm from Wilson Combat with Optics for Deep Concealment #shorts

The Old Bakersfield PD Qual was originally deigned by former Gunsite instructor Mike Waidelich. It is only a 10 shot drill that tested probabilities instead of possibilities. It is a difficult drill that proved an officer knew the fundamentals. In this demonstration Ken Hackathorn puts Bill Wilson through the drill using a new SFT9. The first stage is 1.5 seconds to shoot 2 rounds at 10 feet. The second stage is 2 seconds to shoot 2 rounds at 20 feet. The third stage is 6 seconds to shoot 2 rounds, do an emergency reload and fire 2 more shots at 30 feet. The final stage is 3.5 seconds to shoot 2 rounds at 60 feet.

We put the 90-Grain Xtreme Defense bullet up against a premium Hollow-Point 124-Grain bullet. We shot these bullets through the same Wilson Combat 4-inch Professional. For the test both bullets went through the same plywood barrier and into a 20-inch ballistic gelatin. The result proved that while Hollow-Points clog and will not expand if shot through a barrier, the Xtreme Defense is truly barrier blind. We used a high speed camera for this test at 4000 frames per second. Xtreme Defense is machined from solid copper with the most advanced technology called Fluid Transfer Monolithic. The progressive geometry allows for deep, straight penetration while creating a permanent wound cavity diameter exceeding that of most expanding bullets. Penetrating barriers such as drywall or heavy clothing prior to impacting the intended target doesn’t have the potentially negative effect on the Xtreme Defense that it does to conventional hollow point bullets.

We put the Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos Bullet to the test. We shot the 300 HAM'R 125 GR. Controlled Chaos out of an 18-inch barrel at 2440 feet per second. The bullet was fired into FBI Protocol 8"/8"/24" Ballistic Gelatin. We filmed it using a high speed camera at 4000 frames per second. The results were devastating. Controlled Chaos bullets offer both rapid expansion and deep penetration. Once fluid is impacted, they shed the front portion of the bullet into multiple petals that radiate outward away from the bullet's initial trajectory path resulting in a massive energy spike. The bore diameter base of the bullet continues and penetrates deeply in a straight line. Both the temporary and permanent wound cavity created by this bullet separation is dramatic resulting in quick incapacitation.

The winner of the Outstanding American Handgunner of the Year Award in 1998, Mas has won several states and regional handgun shooting championships. Ayoob was the first person to earn the title of Five Gun Master in the International Defensive Pistol Association. He is the current President of the Second Amendment Foundation.

The weapon mounted light is more popular than ever. It can easily be attached to a concealed carry, every day pistol. But many people misuse the mounted light. Massad Ayoob warns that it is not to be used for searching. If you point a loaded gun at the wrong person, it is felony aggravated assault. Instead the mounted light is to be used after making positive identification for increased accuracy. Massad explains his reasoning in this episode.

Introducing the new Wilson Combat-Sig Sauer collaboration WCP320 Compact. Using the Wilson Combat SIG P320 X-Compact grip module, our in-house re-machined Compact slide, and Wilson Combat performance Battlesights, the Wilson Combat WCP320 Compact is our smallest 320 option for concealed carry and defensive use yet retains the legendary reliability this series is famous for. This fast-handling and concealable pistol wears our Wilson Combat engineered polymer X-Compact grip module with 3-slot rail. This updated grip has enhanced traction, smoother reloading, improved pointablity and superb recoil control in dynamic shooting. This grip module turns an already solid platform into an ergonomic shooting machine. The WCP320 Compact slide has been machined with the Wilson Combat X-TAC pattern for improved manipulation under stress. The front and rear cocking serrations, as well as the slide top, wear this signature Wilson Combat pattern. The stainless steel slide and chromoly barrel wear the most advanced black DLC (Diamond-like-Carbon) physical vapor deposition finish available. This finish has chromium and tungsten under-layers for long-lasting corrosion and abrasion resistance. The SIG SAUER flat-faced XFULL trigger is standard on the WCP320 Compact and gives shooters a lower finger position on the trigger which increases leverage for a lighter, smoother trigger pull. The trigger pull can be further enhanced by Wilson Combat gunsmiths with our optional action tune using Grayguns custom trigger parts. #SIG #P320 #wilsoncombat

The Deadliest Bullets on the Planet. We tested the Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defense 90-Grain Bullet in a 20 inch FBI Calibrated Gelatin Block. We wanted to show how important the Fluid Transfer Monolithic Flutes are to the bullet. We shot a bullet with and a bulet without the flutes to prove that the FTM creates a massive energy dump that stops the bullet in 18 inches of gel. We used a highspeed camera at 4000 frames per second to show the wound cavity. THESE TWO PROJECTILES HAVE IDENTICAL MEPLAT DIAMETER AND OGIVE SHAPE/RADII. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING THAT ONE HAS FLUTES AND THE OTHER DOES NOT. *WEIGHT REMOVED FROM “FLUTELESS” VERSION BY DRILLING OUT REAR OF PROJECTILE* Xtreme Defense is machined from solid copper with the most advanced technology called Fluid Transfer Monolithic. The progressive geometry allows for deep, straight penetration while creating a permanent wound cavity diameter exceeding that of most expanding bullets. Penetrating barriers such as drywall or heavy clothing prior to impacting the intended target doesn’t have the potentially negative effect on the Xtreme Defense that it does to conventional hollow point bullets.

Durable... Dependable... Concealable... With Rock Solid Reliability! Introducing the Wilson Combat SFT9. Solid Frame TRAK Grip 9mm. This new double stack 9mm handgun offers a unique blend of classic double stack design mixed with modern reliability enhancements that improve handling and shooting performance for shooters of all skill levels. DURABLE The foundation of the SFT9 begins as a solid block of the highest quality T6-7075 Aluminum that is precision machined on computer controlled machining centers until all that remains is the finished one- piece solid frame. The solid frame design is more rugged than other firearm designs with a modular grip/frame construction and thinner, with a width of only 1.155 inches. The reduced diameter of the Wilson Combat Solid Frame along with the TRAK grip strap texture improves recoil control and reduces muzzle flip during rapid fire. DEPENDABLE The Commander length Slide and Barrel are precisely machined in- house at our facility in Berryville, Arkansas where our gunsmiths then handfit each 41⁄4 inch Match-Grade Bushing style Barrel for a lifetime of top performance. Each gun is rigorously tested prior to shipment to ensure that it meets our exacting reliability and accuracy standards. The end result is an easy to shoot handgun that is ready for high round count range sessions and every day defensive carry. CONCEALABLE The Wilson Combat TRAK grip texture on the front and the rear of the grip frame offers a non-abrasive comfortable grip without sharp edges to snag on cover garments. The stainless steel slide wears a corrosion resistant and virtually scratch proof black DLC (Diamond-like-Carbon) physical vapor deposition finish. The classic Commander slide profile features dovetail front and rear sights and wide cocking serrations for enhanced traction. RELIABLE Wilson Combat has earned an enviable reputation for best-in-class reliability and proven performance. We are so confident in our products that each Wilson Combat firearm has a lifetime customer service guarantee with no strings attached. Durable... Dependable... Concealable... Ready for Rock Solid Reliability? Look no further than the SFT9 From Wilson Combat. Quality you trust, service you deserve, since 1977.
