About 6 years ago, now, the YouTube channel ShootingTheBull410 did a comprehensive test of 9mm defensive ammo on the market. His testing was multiple shots for each type of round into calibrated ballistic gel through the heavy clothing barrier instead of the single round we often see in such tests. After his tests he did a "wrap up" video which is the one shown blow. There were a lot of good rounds, but the ones that he felt were the best were the Federal HST 124 grain standard pressure and the Winchester Defender 147 grain.
But he had tested the HST in the clear ballistic gel, so he did a showdown between the HST and the Defender in the calibrated organic gel. Out of that round, it was very close between the two, but ultimately he decided that the edge went to the Defender.
There are few newer designs that weren't tested. For instance, I don't believe the Federal Punch had released at the time he made his videos, so they weren't included in the tests.
