In order to find out how different self-defense handgun loads perform, we decided to do some ballistics gelatin testing of our own. The chart below is a compilation of expansion and penetration data for Remington 180 gr Ultimate Defense fired from 10 feet, through four layers of fabric (to simulate clothing), using a Glock 27 pistol.
The photo slider provides a close-up view of the bullets we recovered from the gelatin, and the video shows this load entering the gel in extreme slow motion.
The diagrams at the bottom of the page can give you an idea of how this load compares to other .40 S&W (Smith & Wesson) self-defense loads that we tested.
We did a lot more of this ballistic gelatin testing, including over 100 different loads in a variety of calibers, so check out Lucky Gunner Labs for all the details.

Glock 23 GEN 4

Customer rating:
Before buying this ammo I did quite a bit of research on it. I saw the projectile had consistent weight and size of expansion. The ammo feeds perfectly into my Glock 23 Gen 4. It can be hard to find with the label “compact handgun“ so when I see it I’ll buy it. After shooting a couple boxes of Remington Ultimate Defense I have never had any stove pipes or failure to feed issues.

Great ammo!

Customer rating:
This ammo feeds extremely well, after buying a few boxes and testing it in my Glock 27 before carrying it. I have never had a FTE or FTL with this ammo and the expansion is immense. I would definitely recommend!
