Well, It's Sun. afternoon (6-2) and we just hit 300K subscribers. Thanks everyone.

thank heavens it started raining, I thought it was the wrong channel

How do you tell its an authentic Paul Harrell video, Its raining and he just does not give a crap. As usual I judge this video to be Great.

The one advantage that .25 auto had over .22lr is the reliability of centerfire ammo.

Management doesn't ask Paul Harrell to leave... they ask him to come back.

Used clothing store staff: Here comes Paul-- he's in here again to buy another meat jacket.

Paul Harrell with a .25 acp pistol is more dangerous than most people with a .45 acp pistol

This man speaks so clearly and is concise. If you don't want any unnecessary theatrics or talking this is the KZfaqr to watch.

I wish there was more KZfaqrs like Paul. He doesn’t yell or scream, he gives info very effectively, and is overall is a no bullshit type guy.

Hot damn and Happy Thorsday everyone! Thank you Mr. Harrell.

I saw a report on someone who committed suicide using a .25 ACP handgun. He shot himself in the chest 4 times. Got up, smoked a cigarette and 40 minutes later, tried again. He pumped another 5 rounds into himself and had a change of heart. He called 911. By the time EMT showed up, he was on the verge of losing consciousness. Two hours later, he died, but from shock. I'm convinced the .25 ACP handgun is effective, if you have an accurate and strong throwing arm. Still, I'd rather avoid being shot with that round. It just stings too much. Thanks for taking the time and thank you for your service.

And once again, the little .22LR round does well. Thanks Paul!

Who else sees a new Paul Harrell video, clicks the "Like" button and then views? As usual, you be the judge.... Keep doing what you do Paul, we appreciate it all...

great info as always; congrats on 300K 🇺🇸

I still think a .25 FTX bullet that didn't expand is more effective than two full lungs of 'HELP ME!"

Would love to come out and see you, but that's a bit out of my range. Good luck, and thank you for everything, Paul.

Well, thank you Paul Harrell. I have been looking for a .25 acp carry round, and I figure I still may be looking. Not that I carry one that often, but if I am heading into the Walmart, and I am on my way home from work, I would rather throw the .25 in my pocket than go empty handed. And I see you are back to the wet videos. Spring has sprung

When I bought my wife a gun it was a 25acp, primarily so if she ever got pissed at me my survival would be greatly enhanced

The meat target didn't even flinch while being shot... that meat target sure is tough.

If a 25 caliber pistol was the only pistol I had I would carry fmj in it. Thank you Mr Harrell for a very interesting video.

I'll take a "You be the judge" T-Shirt!

Thanks for making the Hornady Critical Defense 25 acp video.

.25 acp is still better then a sharp stick. Great video

Finally someone is doing a review of this round! Thanks for the information and great videos!

Thank you for your tireless efforts to get out truthful information on all genres of the shooting world, Mr. Harrell. You are the fountainhead of knowledge for the masses!

Thanks for a great video! Yellow jackets are great at expanding in all sorts of circumstances for me as well. Underrated little bullet.

Going on a Paul Harrell binder today. I love all the information he's shares with all of us. Thanks Paul 👍

keep going Paul, great content as always. 300,000 subs you'll soon be

299k !!!!!! Three Hundred Thousand subs are imminent.

Paul Harrell can mathamateically make two wrongs equal a right

Thank you so much for all the time you and the unseen crew that help take. Your channel keeps me up on so many questions , answers and to your best ability unbiased. Thanks 😁 to all of you seen and unseen.

I subscribed soon as I saw you do that quick draw wearing that 1960's plaid sports jacket.

Very helpful. i inherited a .25 made by a sub company of Beretta. Its good quality. It shoots good too! i suprized myself on how accurate it was at 10 yards. When i carry it, it has been loaded with hornady 36 grain xtp which im bettin' are real similar to critical defense. i have rarely carried it partly because i have no confidence in .25 rnd and second would only take it when i was trying to be as discreet as possible about carrying a gun and it is VERY concealable. Truly a palm gun and so flat and thin if you put it in your back pocket its hard to distinguish from a wallet. After getting the facts from Paul i think i will carry this gun more often.

Neither rain, nor snow nor dark of night deters our professional from firing his appointed rounds. Good job Paul.

Paul, this was my first video of yours. I found it very informative with very little slop or self promotion. Honestly, it was a breath of fresh air not being sold some phone app while looking for info on the .25 since I just grabbed a Bauer. Cheers to you! I cant wait to see more of your vids.

My only 'Test' was a buddy with a .25 and myself with a 2-shot .22 short Derringer shooting into a box of Natl Geos in my apartment way back when. The .22 short penetrated better than the .25. That said, neither is my first choice but I've noticed that, when you start poking holes in people they tend to Disengage from the activity that got you poking holes into them san Methamphetamines or Bath Salts. So, my personal first choice? .45acp or .357 Magnum with whatever round you happen to have. If I had nothing but either a ,25 or .22 I would make the best possible use of the low recoil to put as many holes into the Target as possible in as shoert of a time as possible, if they did not Disengage then I would use the weapon as a Club figuring they are bleeding out and weakening anyway so I'm doing them a favor by shortening their suffering to a minute rather than an Hour.

Probably the fastest I've ever gotten to one of your vids. As always, great content.

Who needs Hickok45 when Paul Harrell is around.

This is the most I have seen demonstrated on .25 acp. Great video, thank you.

Congratulations Paul! Great presentations. Keep em coming

Thanks for this, Paul. I've had the Beretta mousegun (Bobcat) in both .22 and .25, but upgraded to the Tomcat in .32ACP, for presumably obvious reasons (though I generally carry either a Ruger or Sig in .380ACP. But I do have a fun-gun PPK/S in .22LR, and finding the right ammo is important. As an aside, you do seem to like to shoot in the rain. Living in Vegas with water restrictions, I'd like to invite you to come shoot in my yard, and bring the rain with you!

Wow. That’s awesome that you gave the .25 a fair chance against .22. Most youtubers use a small 25 and a ruger .22 which is not a good comparison. Thank you for your great input and even greater video. Also I have a few designs for multiple bullets I test out. I’m only 15 so legally I can only test them with supervision and so on. Your videos have inspired me to become a machinist and my grandpa who is teaching me, as always thank you, God bless you and have a wonderful day. Edit: Also what state do you live in, is it Oregon or somewhere near that? I live in PA, but I wanted to see if I could send some stuff. (I also make knives and stuff like that and once I’m done with the one i spent way to much time on i would like you to give me good input)

I am so glad you do these - opens my eyes on a few things. Thanks Paul!!

Thanks for another great video on a very interesting topic. I always look forward to your posts!

Almost *300k* subscribers! Keep up the great work my friend.

My only fear is that due to muscle memory, if Paul is ever in a shootout, he will fire a shot, turn to the camera and report the velocity...

Thanks for the info. Was going to ask about the expansion of the .22 HP out of the pocket pistols but as always, you covered it. I am no where near Portland. So have a good time at the show. For those going, Thank Paul and his crew for their outstanding work at getting good solid informationn out to us. So we can be the judge.

Paul...Thanks again for an intelligent, informative and entertaining video. I'm a long time fan, subscriber and it makes my day when I get alerted of a new video. I truly wish I could make it out to Oregon...beautiful state! I get some odd looks as the rain doesn't bother me....two years in Panama did that to me. I respect a man who has his act together, is intelligent, shoots well and respects firearms and isn't afraid of the rain. Nice job Sir

I remember that video that was a long time ago Paul when I think about it I can't believe I've been watching your videos that long!!!!!

Love your videos. I still would love to see one where you talk about your exercise routine and diet. :)

Thank you, Paul! for another great video. I like your more serious and basic style!

The first evening of qualifying, it was pouring. A new experience for most, including me. Never again. I set the time to practice and then I go. Always like your videos.

"The High Tech Fleece Bulletstop®: It just keeps getting better and better!"

how are people still confused about Paul's lack of wearing eye protection and the earplug case at this point

It doesn't rain on Paul Harrell, it Paul Harrells on the rain.

Paul, Your videos look like they were recored 40 years ago, I LOVE IT !!!

If you make a way to buy t-shirts online, I will buy one. Maybe two.

Sweet. Another great vid.

Mr. Paul ! Glad to have found you! Youre hands down one of the most Underrated Gun channels Here on YT!

I'm so glad to check and find a new Paul Harrell presentation. Always the best part of the week.

.25 ACP: Making bad guys really miffed for 100 years.

As he said "Polk county" I thought "In Texas, only 30 minutes from me?" Then he said Oregon and I was sad.

Thank you Paul for making videos. You are the only one that I know of who shows us things based in reality

Thank you Paul for another outstanding video 👍!

Some tshirt ideas "Lets ask the meat target" The meat target list "Please bear with gunfire in the background" You be the judge.

I’d be interested to see various loads of .327 Federal Magnum vs the meat target

Paul, another great video. Concise, to the point, no outlandish chest thumping of how great you are and most importantly you take your viewers seriously. I can think of a NUMBER of channels that would scoff at testing 25 acp ammo. While I personally have no need for the caliber I DO love critical defense in 9mm , .38 and .45 and was curious about the performance. Kind of surprised actually that it didn't do better.

Great video. Thanks Paul

Don't forget the "$#!t I got shot" factor

Paul's Videos are great. I don't know why he is so down on himself whenever he talks. He could review anything and could make it interesting "Today's video isn't on the range, so you won't have to deal with any gunfire. Also I'm going to be TALKING for most of the video so please bear with my Shatner esque dramatic pauses. I went to the movies the other day to see John Wick 3. The first thing I noticed was the price of the movie can vary depending on the time of day you go. Keep that in mind if you are conscious of your wallet. I told my friend I was going to go see it and he says something to the effect of ' I can't STAND those movies, they are so fake!' *dramatic Paul stare into the camera* Really? I didn't know! The ticket in my pocket, the popcorn in my hand and the lighter my wallet felt didn't clue me in that this is a fantasy! *looks off camera* No, this is a different guy who thought Star wars was real and that he was a sith lord"

Paul Harrell and forgotten weapons are the only firearms channels worth watching these days. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Paul. All the best with the Oregon show.

Damn, I’ll be in Spokane on the 7th &8th. Keep us updated on your appearances. I’d pay to see you!

I think that if Paul wants to do anymore 22/25 testing, he is going to have to develop a skull target.

Learned some new things as always! Stellar job!

Interesting information. Thank you as always for your time and effort.

Remington Yellow Jackets are nasty. They blow up squirrels. I've also had more than one semi auto that wouldn't feed them reliably. I was not surprised to see how well they expanded.

is it ever going to stop raining on you? thank you for another very worthwhile video.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reviews, I trust your reviews before all the other people shooting into gelatin that a bb will penetrate 3 or 4 inches into.

Always enjoy your channel.

Hello Paul and crew! Could you do a video on the .327 Federal Magnum!?

Thanks Paul. My experience with .22 pistols has shown me that nothing rivals CCI Velocitors, interns of outright speed, penetration, or expansion. Please try Velocitors next time and leave the Mini Mags at home. Cheers!

Another great informative and reasoning based vid! I was not expecting much from the Hornady CD. After using it, I have not seen it perform as awesomely as its hype in any caliber. Hornady is a very good ammo, but even better marketer!!

Another great presentation!

T-Shirt idea: "The original Meat Target"....

t shirts should say, " Don't try this at home, I'm what you call a professional."

Paul, Great review love the .22LR

The results today for .25 caliber pocket guns versus a .22 caliber pocket gun are that bullet placement in the central nervous system on a human predator is critical to stopping a threat. Probably, anyone thinking of using these firearms for self defense should consider "double tap" or an accurate shot followed up with an immediate second shot for better results. Police departments train two shots to the body and one shot to the head in case your human predator is wearing body armor. Either one of these pocket guns, should maybe have the idea of "two shots to the body" and "two shots to the head." Some people recommend shooting the threat until the human target stops being a threat. My thinking here is to conserve a couple rounds to engage a second human predator target. The problem with either one of these pocket guns, is unless you get excellent bullet placement on the central nervous system of the target, the wounded human predator is likely going to be able to shoot back at you or continue on lunging at you with a knife etc. A .22 magnum is a little better choice than either one of these guns today assuming you explore the different types of ammo, barrel lengths for the intended purpose etc. These limitations aside, a .22 LR and .25 caliber have been used and are used in lots homicides annually. So these smaller caliber pocket guns can be used effectively but you need central nervous systems hits to stop the human predator threat. Otherwise, the human predator will get a chance to get back at you because death caused by a .22 takes a while for non-central nervous system wounds. The self-defense act with either of these small pocket guns could make you a casualty without a central nervous system hit on the human predator target. www.shootingillustrated.com/articles/2010/10/26/22-lr-for-self-defense/

Some sort of .25 magnum would be interesting... or a "super" .25 ACP

Paul is there any chance we can get your in depth analysis of the Newhall shooting ? I really enjoyed your informative video on Miami Dade .

Very well done sir. Great video.

Thank you for another awesome video !!!

Rick Roll Oregon? I'm not falling for that one. No sir!

Paul Harrell films in the rain, b/c when Paul's out the Sun runs and hides...

Love this guy I've been on his vids for years.

Excellent video yet again.

Since you mentioned a point of aim shift a skull analog target would be interesting to see as well.

Would love to see you guys do a video on 450 Bushmaster since it's become a more popular hunting round. Meat target!

Thanks for the review and the suggestion of the yellow jackets for a short barreled .22

As always thanks for sharing your knowledge. I was thinking of a bobcat for CC. With this and your prior vid on 22lr vs 25acp, I now know to get it in 22lr not 25acp. Thank you very much for these vids.
