9MM SYNTECH DEFENSE AMMO REVIEW
9MM SYNTECH DEFENSE AMMO REVIEW
Comprehensive review of the 9mm 138 Federal SYNTECH Defense fragmenting hollowpoint. This ammo was released in early 2019. Video includes overview, chronograph readings, day/night shots, multiple block shots (bare gel and also FBI heavy clothing protocol), and detailed summary. The gel block was graciously provided by CLEAR BALLISTICS. All other resources were purchased out of pocket.
Just picked up a box of this!
Thank you for doing this. Very informative.
Youtube channel combat approved episode 23
That’s just a nasty freakin round. As a traditional hollow point guy I dunno how I feel about it honestly lol but I’m grateful for the info tho. I think Tommy’s the best ammo review channel ever.
I didn’t know that you were back…
The community sure has missed your videos.
👍😎👍
Really quiet
Good luck finding this Ammo.
Good stuff it what I carry
Hi there , i am a new subscriber to your channel. I have been to many channels about guns and types of bullets that are very effective for self defence ammunition. Since you do videos on this topic you understand how much bias and un founded opinions there are out there and as a husband and father i take self defense very seriously so i dont have time nor patience (which my kids already test my patience but we love them ) for all the noise from all the opinions and back and forth bickering (let me say there are many awesome gun channels who do valuable work and research into weapons and i am grateful for them ) I finally however made it to your channel and not only do you convey and illustrate the facts and do it in a way that is easy to follow and understand , but you use the scientific method very effectively , all the numbers and gun gargen actually become very fascinating and as mentioned above easy to follow. Thank you for the good work you do, i understand how challenging and how much goes into making just one video so just know it does not go un noticed.
More gimmicky bullshit thought up by the gun industry
TN buddy we need some more content! Love your videos! Best ammo information on the web!
January 13, 2021: $22 on Federal website for 20 rounds.
I have these in .40 caliber. The larger pieces of the .40 round should give a definite advantage over the 9mm.
Keep these loaded in my and my wifes carry 9mms
Wow. Federal does an amazing job engineering their loads. Exactly what they advertise and what the consumer wants. This type of technology is what makes subsonic loads effective so I’m hoping to see this type of projectile from Federal for the .300 blackout and hopefully future 8.6 blackout. The success of these loads is the tailoring of bullet to caliber, velocity and expected use.
RIP is a joke
January 1st 2021… This ammo is now MSRP at $23/box. Thanks for the review.
Hey Brother check in with a chat let us know if you are OK. I miss your videos please share your ideas .
I thought this ammo was interesting, it’s hard to come by now but luckily I had bought quite a bit of it a few years ago. This test definitely makes me happy I did, very cool to see it in action.
What happened to all of the rifle bullet test videos? Your 5.56 videos were the best on youtube
Maybe I’m wrong but I thought you’re never supposed to shoot at flat steel?
I’m a fan of the Federal Synetch for a training ammo.
It’s cheap*, reliable & makes it safer to shoot steel.
* Was cheap before the ammo shortage of 2020.
Hopefully that turns around soon as I miss being able to shoot higher round counts without having to switch to .22LR.
We need you back! I’m sure more than a handful would donate to a patreon to keep these going!
Want to see these 9mm bullets in a 9×25 Dillon load. Wonder if they would explode immediately once fired, or if they’d actually survive to the target lol
I always thought this Ammo was something special. It’s not it’s literally powder coated cast projectiles. Just like what I make now
WE MISS YOU. PLEASE COME BACK
I’m looking for non lethal, would these be good for that?
It was minimum 12 inches-was best ammo ever invented
Please post your videos on Rumble
I’d imagine once lung tissue was accessed by the fragment, they’d penetrate further than in gel, since lung tissue would have little resistance to penetration.
May I say you are my number one source for ammo test videos. An an engineer I truly appreciate just every single detail and measurement you do. I carry 147 gun HST in my 229 legion, and that’s all I’ll ever need, thanks to you. Eliminated need for +p or any other catch all new marketing.. however, these I may have to try……. bottom line: would you carry this or 147 gn HST ?
I wish you’d come back. The Youtube gun community needs your logic, rigorous testing methodology, and lack of foolishness.
No gimmick there. a bullet that never fails
I live in Nashville
I did find this educational
Where have you been? We miss your presence on YouTube!,,
Looks god
This ammo worked fine with the Glock ?
Tennessee in the building
Looks like Eastwoods Ford Ford Blue powder coating! 😉 . Us powder coating Castboolit shooters have enjoyed the success of this for several years. Great content and testing sir! Keep up the great work!
Is this brass or steel case
I got ripped off just paid 50 bucks for 20 of these hope theyre worth it
Freeload a few fleets of those to me right now
1:24 not just to lick judicial boots
Sweet
This will replace my Federal HST carry ammo if I ever find it. HST is great but this may be better. I just watched a video of segmented .22LR bullets penetrating hams & chickens completely so I did a search for segmented centerfire ammo & landed here. I hope Federal offers this in other calibers too.
i love how you did this and broke it down. awesome! subscribed!
Wish I could find it right now😪 rip
I carry these in my EDC Glock 19. A bit pricey in my area, but def. worth the money IMO. Amazing round.
Hope you’re well tnoutdoors9! Great ammo. Paid $29.99 at my LGS for box of 20. Not the best price, but happy to see it works well!
