I've been a fan of this stuff for years in my extremely concealable single stack 9mm pocket rocket. I've tested it in meat, water, more meat, and meat wrapped up old hoodie. It has yet to fail to do what it claims. The 138gr projectile exits my 3.1" barrel between 1025 and 1050fps very consistently. In the platform I run it though, a standard mag +1 makes my hand and arm ache all the way up to the elbow (8 rounds).
It hits where I point, which is important because my eyes are getting to the point where it's mighty hard to pick up sights on any handgun anymore. Yes, I use them, but me going for a nice tight group ended years ago. I train to hit center mass 2x at about 20' in quick succession (about an 8" circle starting at the tip of the sternum) - it's my best option at this point.
I picked up a bottle of Gatorade someone had dropped in a grocery store parking lot a couple of days ago. Of course I picked it up and no, I didn't plan on drinking it. I planned on shooting it!!!!!
I knew from past experiments that one of the Syntech rounds would segment in both gallon jugs and 2 liters, and all 4 projectiles would exit the back. In a gallon jug, the little 16-17gr fragments that segment off from the main projectile will exit roughly 6-7" away from the main projectile chunk. I was wondering if the small roughly 3" diameter Gatorade bottle would provide enough medium for the projectile to start segmenting. I'd meant to toss some old hoodie into the truck to wrap up the bottle with, but I forgot to. I did have an old worn out microfiber rag. That'll work. Wrapped it around the Gatorade bottle 2x and let it rip. I did stand a good bit closer as I wanted a pretty good center hit, so I paced off 12 feet. Shot was perfect. All 4 segments exited the back approximately 1" apart.
I like it in a small gun because even old faithful's like HST will occasionally fail in the pocket rocket sized category. I've never had a test go south with this stuff.
here is a pretty good review of the stuff. I'm one of the people who asked him to test it lol
