Gel test Results
We tested this Magtech 40 Smith & Wesson ammo by firing five rounds with a S&W M&P40C with a -inch barrel into calibrated Clear Ballistics gelatin. Of those five rounds, we discovered the ammo penetrated an average of 13.5-inches into the gelatin. Our test rounds ended the test with an average expanded diameter of 0.586-inches, retaining 100% of the projectile's original weight.
On this page, you'll see video of our tests including photographs that detail the ammunition before/after firing it through a four-layer barrier into gelatin. Also, you'll see how this Magtech 40 Smith & Wesson ammunition stacks up compared to other self-defense rounds in 40 Smith & Wesson.

We bought these non lead because of the new laws in California. It is legal to hunt with a center fire pistol so rather than let Mr. green Jeans have something to pick at we went copper in our permitted carry pieces. Only gave four stars I have not used the round in a real situation but it functions and performs at the range.
Great customer service and fast shipping we will be back..
