Ballistics Test Summary

We wanted to know exactly what happens to a self-defense handgun bullet on impact, so following FBI protocols, we fired five rounds of Federal 65 gr Hydra Shok from 10 feet, through four layers of cloth (to simulate clothing), into synthetic ballistic gelatin. The photos below show the bullets recovered from the gelatin after being fired from a KelTec P32 pistol. There’s also a high speed video that shows the bullet impacting the gelatin block.

All the data we gathered pertaining to expansion and penetration of this load can be found in the chart below, and the diagrams at the bottom of the page show how it compares to other .32 Auto (ACP) self-defense loads from our tests.

In addition to the .32 Auto (ACP) Federal 65 gr Hydra Shok, we tested over 100 other self-defense loads, so check out Lucky Gunner Labs for the full story.

Q: Will this ammo, function properly in a revolver ??

Posted On: 5/5/2020 By: Tom Sweet

A: Hi Tom! If your revolver is indeed chambered for 32 ACP, this ammo will work well in it. You may also be interested in our report on this very topic from last year: luckygunner.com/lounge/can-you-fire-32-acp-in-a-revolver/

Q: I was given a Walter PPK as a gift. What do you recommend as the best ammo for home defense? Thank you!

Posted On: 3/27/2020 By: Tower Snow

A: That's a nice gift! Provided that your PPK is indeed chambered for .32 ACP (aka .32 Auto), this ammo would make a great option for personal protection. The Hydra-Shok was designed from the ground up for that singular purpose, and I personally load Hydra-Shoks in the revolver I carry for self-defense. Other premium self-defense bullets include Hornady's XTP, Speer's Gold Dot, and SIG Sauer's V-Crown. They all have features that make them unique, but again, the Hydra-Shok ranks right up there among the very best in my opinion. -Dave
