This video compares Lehigh Defense's 90-grain Xtreme Defense 9mm bullet against a 124-grain premium hollow-point bullet. Both were fired from a Wilson Combat 4-inch Professional pistol through a plywood barrier and into ballistic gelatin. The test demonstrates the Xtreme Defense's superior barrier penetration compared to the hollow-point, which clogged and failed to expand. The video highlights the Xtreme Defense's solid copper construction and Fluid Transfer Monolithic technology, emphasizing its deep penetration and wound cavity. High-speed footage at 4000 frames per second captures the bullet performance.

This video from Lehigh Defense and Wilson Combat demonstrates the performance of their 9mm 90-grain Xtreme Defense bullet using FBI-calibrated gelatin. The test compares a bullet with their Fluid Transfer Monolithic (FTM) flutes against one without, highlighting the flutes' role in creating a significant energy dump and controlled penetration of 18 inches. A high-speed camera at 4000 fps captures the wound cavity. The description emphasizes the advanced monolithic copper construction and its ability to create a large permanent wound cavity, outperforming traditional hollow points, especially after barrier penetration.
