Gel test Results
We tested this Hornady Ammunition 9mm Luger (9x19) ammo by firing five rounds with a S&W M&P Shield with a 3.1-inch barrel into calibrated Clear Ballistics gelatin. Of those five rounds, we discovered the ammo penetrated an average of 21.96-inches into the gelatin. Our test rounds ended the test with an average expanded diameter of 0.438-inches, retaining 100% of the projectile's original weight.
