Paul's absolute disdain for the marketing nonsense on the boxes is fantastic.

Paul's dedication to meeting the requests of his audience without compromising his standards is impressive.

If Paul sold his own ammo it would be sold in a plain brown cardboard box labeled “Ammunition: Shut Up & Shoot It”

One of the most educational and well-spoken gun channels on KZfaq. I come away from every video a more informed consumer and enthusiast. And with a craving for Pop-Tarts

Wish we could have seen Paul's face when dealing with the multiple malfunctions on the black fang meat target !

Paul is beyond most people's intelligence.

Close to a mil subscribers mate. I'm sure thats not your priority, but you damn well deserve it. Keep up the great things you've been doing for so long.

Thank you Paul and crew for your hard work. I was interested when 5.7 came out, the cost and availability were just not acceptable for me. You have educated, entertained and saved me money. Much appreciated.

I'll listen to Paul talk about Deep Penetrating Solids any day of the week.

I was amazed that I didn't see a Ruger Five-Seven flying into frame and striking the meat target somewhere during all that off-camera fighting to get it to feed 'Black Dragon Fang' rounds.

Great idea putting the chronograph stuff in a different video. It's a win win for everybody including people looking for that information and people not looking for that information.

It is good that more companies are manufacturing 5.7x28. Easier to find something that might work for you.

I've been looking forward to hearing Paul's take on 5.7 as a CCW round! What a great way to start the morning.

Only KZfaqr that leads his class and needs to change nothing....but does and always in a positive way. Chrono closeup appreciated.

Good stuff. This entry proves more and more that this is the "Paul Harrell and His Viewers Show". This man really reads video comments and takes cues from audience likes and dislikes. No one else I know about does this. And the ever controversial chronograph segment gets its own video this time. 👍

This review just saved me about $500 and 2 months of shipping. I’m sticking with V-Max and SS195. Thank you sir

20:02 Gotta love the comedy gold of BDF ammo turning Paul's pistol into a bolt action.

Dang. Now I gotta pop them tarts

Not interested in this caliber of ammunition. ABSOLUTELY interested in anything PH has to say about any firearm or ammunition. The king of common sense! Thank you.

Ironically, when shooting the Black Dragon ammo, the gun didn't go fang all the time.

Thanks Paul for ferreting out some potential issues with poor quality assurance with some ammunition manufacturers.

I’ve Been waiting on the no nonsense data on the 5.7 that only Paul can deliver! Great video 👍

Yep, Pop-Tarts, my favorite snack treats. Blueberry and Strawberry.

I see we’re returning to flintlock pistol levels of accuracy. Tally ho, lads

Next poptarts ad needs to be you kneeling next to a scattered box of PTs, with your handgun next to it, like a "successful hunt" picture. Gotta earn them pops.

Should've started the video with "Hi, We're at our range today so please bare with the crickets." Great presentation as always Paul and team!

Paul video? YES please!

I would like to defend the 5.7 round. It is a good alternative for older folks and women. Women carry purses so the size of the firearm is not a great concern. The recoil of this round is minimal. With quality ammo (FN or AAC or Fiocchi) you can get decent groups. My wife is lethal with her PSA ROCK. I like to shoot it too- so I bought one for me as well. Everyone I have let shoot the ROCK has enjoyed the function and accuracy of this firearm.

I like the new layout with the separate Chrono and the larger display with results. Not that I don't like looking at you, I just like the cardboard with the numbers more. :) I'll definitely be checking out the Chrono presentation. Thanks for your efforts on our behalf!

I think Paul Harrell is in the top 10 KZfaq gun tubers ever. I cannot believe it when people were asked to drive his subscribers over 1,000,003 days ago that happened. Thank you everyone and God bless Paul.

This guy is my favorite gun/ammo reviewer. He talks fast and uses a lot of technical terms, and yet I understand everything he's saying. I'm a new subscriber, wish I found his work a long time ago!

Thanks for this presentation on 5.7x28mm ammo. I appreciate that making two shorter videos is more difficult than making one longer video and I appreciate your effort. First, I get information more quickly without bothering to scroll through the video, and second, the tedious chronograph video gives me the shot-by-shot information on ammunition performance. How often did your teachers demand that you 'show your work?'

Im going to download this video and the chronograph video - combine them - and watch them as originally intended. I was here before the new crowd blew in and ruined it.

Let's get that out onto a tray. Nice

Another great teaching. Many thanks to you and your team.

Another great presentation, Paul ! Thanks.

Thank you, Paul. I am definitely considering buying a 5.7X28mm pistol, and watching for developments in ammunition technology & production/availability. You've saved me some trouble by evaluating these for us.

While the results or lack there of are always appreciated it saves the rest of us a lot of time and money to figure out what doesn't work! That being said it's good to see manufacturers working on new offerings for this caliber. I've had a fiveseven for a long time and have been patiently waiting for the world to discover it again! It finally looks like that might just happen!! Thank you sir for everything you and your crew do for us!!

Nice presentation. Thanks for putting it together.

Great work as always Paul

Paul, you truly are a master of your craft, each and every video should legitimately be worth money and be taught to every gun owner anenthusiasts. Thank you for everything you do Paul.

Excellent presentation as always, I did buy an S&W 57, and this video arrives just in time. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Another great video. Thanks, Paul.

Thank you Mr. Harrell for a useful vidja as usual. I have seen a number of folks putting out vids of their shooting the "Obsidian Dragon Fang" ammo and no one has showcased its strengths and weaknesses ANYWHERE as clearly as this one so KUDOS for that. Too bad it seems to be more gimmicky than innovative. I am STILL a big notional fan of 5.7 but not having actually used it myself I am happy to see you give me useful information for future reference. CHEERS!

I appreciate how thorough you are, and your sarcasm. Good stuff.

The first part of the video really had me wondering, I'd never seen Paul put out such lousy groups, and from a rest?! Seeing it happen so often with different ammo I was wondering if the pistol's barrel was properly attached, lol! All in all the video just kept me at the point I started at, my .38 Colt snubby is staying right where it is. Thanks for another very informative video, Paul!

Fantastic content as always.

Phenomenal job!!! Just simple logic and common sense as usual from Paul !!!

I'm not sure what the value in ammo that doesn't feed correctly or eject properly might be.

Beautiful chronograph transition. Thank you.

I carry a Ruger 57 for CCW periodically. I'm currently using the 40gr Fiocchi VMAX for that purpose. I've had the best accuracy with that so far. I also noticed that my Ruger 57 wasn't as accurate as i thought it should be until after the break-in period. I like how fast and flat they shoot. I've also noticed increased accuracy after adding a Trijicon RMR, no surprise there. The 20+1 is nice as well.

Another excellent, informative video from one of the great masters in this subject area.

Thanks, as always, great information.

Another great video sir. Thank you

The amount of time between shots tells me a lot about the reliability, & Paul's efforts to shoot as accurately as possible. Re body armor several recent mass shooters have worn it (not that most of us will ever face such a situation).

I think this presentation does show that a lot of typical big box 5.7 ammunition is not loaded to the full potential of the cartridge.

If it took Paul a good 10 seconds to un-jam his pistol and cycle in another round, it's going to take the average guy a good 30 seconds to a minute. Even if those bullets could penetrate tanks, you're going to get shot and it's going to be game over before you get the first jam out.

I really like the way this video was edited. Big thanks to Paul and crew

Damn. I was hoping for a montage. Thanks as always Paul.

Great work. Thanj you.

Always interesting, thank you!

Paul is such a reliable straight shooter - pun, kind of intended

LMAO, I'm 64 and I still LOVE Pop tarts!

My brain didn’t register the crickets and meadow sounds until I paused the video and was surprised by the odd quiet. Credit to my parents for raising me in the right places.

If defeating body armor is your goal, that black tipped 30-06 is pretty good at it. If 5.7x28 is your only gun, ammo that goes where you're looking seems to be top priority.

Once again, great info, sir!

16:50 I make it 12.7% more energy in the BDF relative to the FN, at the expense of not knowing what you're going to hit.

Someone needs to contact pop tarts about these amazing Paul Harrell ads I can’t wait to see one in a shooting illustrated.

Life happened. Glad to find you well and with so many subscribers.

Paul thinks we want to watch all the shooting and reading of the numbers. What we really want is more Paul time.

Woo hood new Paul video!😊

Best gun channel imo, and I love many others

Great video man!!

7:48 - I was waiting for Paul to shoot the bug crawling on the target and yell “get off my target!” from off camera. 😂

I would like to see him retest the meat target with the carbine

Disappointing but extremely useful information. Thanks Paul, please keep up the 5.7 content, i always appreciate your videos

Great Channel !!

Thanks Paul. 👍👍👍👍

Although most criminals do not use body armor, gangs are increasingly using it. "Jugging" (robbing people at ATMs), carjacking, and home invasions by gangs in major cities will, not infrequently, feature various levels of body armor these days. It's unfortunately on the rise, and will likely continue to rise over time, just as firearms technology continues to rise in criminal hands. The same crowd putting "switches" on Glocks, are passing around body armor from China (which might bode well for penetrating it in a defensive shooting). I grew up in a neighborhood where a couple gangs do this. I don't live there now, but if I did, penetrating body armor from home invaders would definitely be in my thought process for a home defense gun...and since that neighborhood is poor, and you can't afford many guns, you might try to get that utility out of your everyday carry. This, and capacity, low recoil, the ability to suppress perhaps, and maybe even barrel and bolt swaps with 22LR (I believe CMMG already has this available), for cheaper target practice (to alleviate the ammo cost issue), might be why so many of these sell in the inner cities and suburbs (people traveling to the city to work).

Thanks for making the 5.7x28 Ammo Selection video.

Great job and GOD bless you and your whole family 🙏

Informative and entertaining 👍

Good video Paul thank you

Excellent and precise as always Paul, I would be very interested in seeing you do a video and your thoughts on the .41 Magnum cartridge. It has an interesting history and is also quite the capable man/beast stopper.

Yay! Paul testing some 5.7 ammo!

This was such a pleasant presentation.

Fuck yeah! Glad we got the pop tart intro! Come get with us by Track Tribe is one awesome song too.

Watching and hearing Paul say "Deep Penetrating Solid" and "Black Dragon Fang" always makes me laugh. :) Great showcase of all the new gimmicky 5.7 ammo and its performance!

Very useful presentation! PLEASE keep testing other brands of 5.7 ammo through your Ruger as they come available to you? This is a new thing on the planet, and makers are just starting to join in. Many of us bought a 5.7 gun expecting higher velocities from all of the hype, but are disappointed at the reality! We eagerly await an available load that lives up to the promise................................elsullo

I was hoping you had the AAC stuff, but stayed for the whole video anyway. Love your stuff Paul

Thanks Paul!

Mr. Paul Harrell is one of the very FEW sources of Tactics, Firearms and Ammo information's I trust.

Great video Paul! I think you're missing something though with 5.7x28 use cases. Certainly, most criminals don't use body armor. But mass shooters often do, and I think that's where special consideration needs to be given. If someone happens to find themself in a situation where they are having to defend their life or others against a mass shooter wearing body armor, 5.7x28 is the caliber that they need, and the ability to penetrate body armor is paramount. I think FN's SS198LF is probably the best bet as far as ability to penetrate the body armor, cost, reliability, and accuracy. I'm honestly surprised to see how inaccurate the Black Dragon Fang and T6B ammo was.

You're the man Paul. I'm heavily invested in FN's ammunition and it is nice to see I made the right choice.

Pop Tarts, sponsored by Paul Harrel and The Crew. Let's GO!

Great video

Lots of good comments all the way to 6 months back. I appreciate the feedback you guys give and when I see one I like, I put a thumbs up on it. 5.7 is one of my favorites for carry when over-penetration is a bigger concern than usual (like in crowded public places). Thanks to the guys who recommended Fiocchi, I haven't tried that yet, but will when I can get some.

Fn thanks Paul

“Leave out the chronograph segment”. Just show the table of results. Excellent idea!

The Pop-Tart cold opens are forever my favorite cold opens on the youtubes.
