Taurus GX4 test shoot: Vista Outdoors 124 gr 9mm +P, Federal HST vs Speer Gold Dot - Ballistic Gel

Snubnose shooting test featuring the all new Remington Golden Saber 125 grain 38 Special +P manufactured by Federal and fired out of the 1.9" barrel of the Ruger LCR into ballistic gel with a four layer denim barrier and tested across a ProChrono chronograph. In this video we also make good on the three month old promise to do a "formal gel test" of the Winchester Defender 130 grain 38 Special +P, and found the Remington Golden Saber edges it out in the penetration category.

@ 217 foot pounds of muzzle energy, can this 38 Special cartridge pass muster? We put it to the test with a meat target and chronograph the rounds out of the Ruger LCR with its 1.9” barrel—stay tuned to the end for a retest of the chrony results, the round is more consistent than the initial test results indicate. (recommended playback speed 1.25x) The Winchester Defender cartridge is at least an updated box, and possibly a modest redesign of the venerable PDX-1 defensive loading, which in turn is merely a rebranded Ranger law enforcement round. Recoil is quite manageable even out of the 13 oz LCR, but the round performs like a much more powerful load! In short, this is on my short list of recommended carry rounds for J-frame and J-frame style concealed carry revolvers.
