Can the CorBon Glaser Pow'RBall ammo continue to perform well? Are these a good option for short barrel self-defense use? Heavy clothing ballistic gel test using a Taurus 856 and Smith & Wesson 686!

@@colt-ss3lw Same, I'd LOVE to see that. These things are getting into .357 magnum velocity levels (although obviously with a smaller bullet. It would be interesting to see if whether they expand even better or if they just fragment into pieces at the higher velocities. But for sure I'm going to order some of these for my Taurus 605 Poly Defender carry revolver. These seme way more consistent and better performing than the Hornady Critical Defense that I currently carry.

Back in the day when revolvers and 1911’s ruled the day this ammo was marketed for use in 1911’s that had problems feeding hollow points. They use to advertise the polymer ball was for reliable feeding in tight 1911’s that jammed on hollow points. In the 80’s I carried it in my 1911’s.

Back in the 80s I learned that wad cutter, semi wad cutter, and semi wad cutter hollow point was almost impossible to beat in the old .38 Special for various purposes. Seems as though this hot rod Corbon stuff is getting .38 Super class and or maybe 75% .357 Mag. If you get to 1300 FPS in a .38 Special it's noteworthy if your pressures don't get beyond +P.

Good test Tools. Would like to see you test some Underwood 38 spcl + P LSWCHP. 158 gr. I believe it's Underwood item # 733. Old school FBI load.

This might be the perfect 38 special snubbie load

Would be interesting to compare these to 110 grain 357 mag. loads, which are more commonly available. These hot 38 Special loads might be iffy for some people in 2" barrels due to recoil and blast. I'd use them in 3" and 4" barrels for home defense to better take advantage of their higher pressure. Or in 357 mag revolvers if less recoil and blast is desired compared to full power 357 loads. Anyway, powerful ammo that works as advertised, good job Cor-Bon. Thank for another great test !

I gave my wife a sw 442 in 38 special to keep in her purse, its loaded with civil defense rounds. I would love to see you test that round out of a short barrel. See what velocities you get and how it performs!

Great video and performance from a 38. I generally lump calibers like 38 and 380 together as needing the best ammo to be considered for self defense. Ammo like Xtreme Defender or Penetrator ups their effectiveness. But I’d say this ammo is also worth considering for 38.

Again, another success. This is a good thing. Light and fast still hit hard and went plenty deep. Another good option for our snubby 38 brethren. I just watched another GunTuber recently who tested these Power Balls chambered in 10mm. They mostly tumbled in flight and did not group at all. Have you seen anything on the 10mm offering having problems with stability or any other calibers for that matter? Thank you.

Old stock maybe? They don't even have a 10mm Pow'RBall listed on their site currently, so I assume it's old stock from possibly previous ownership/offerings. I know a lot of tests out there of CorBon/Glaser stuff is really old stock. All of the ones I've tested are within a month old.
