Have no experience with .40 and I did not have the patience to watch the clip. I have found that 9mm military loaded fmj in yellow pine boards to out penetrate .45 ball and midrange soft point .44 mag. Penetration in wood is dependent on the projectiles shape, ability resist deformation, tumbling, and velocity/momentum. I wonder, but do not have proof if the approximate 1 in 10 twist for the european 9x19 barrels is meant to enhance penetration. American 9mm's often have a slower twist.
Glock OEM is
A faster one in ten twist rate is what one would normally see in a rifle.
Glock OEM is
But after market barrels can be 1 in 16.
No.
I gave up tree stump videos for Lent.

I have no clue what this video was designed to show. "Wow and Wow! Pretty unimpressive AFAIC."
Wind noise and 2 calibers hitting a stump. WOW! (not).

This video must have been shot beside an interstate highway. Terrible sound quality.

Waste of ammo, film or electrons, not to mention time.

As I posted previously, if you are trying to demonstrate anything on a regular basis, you really need a consistent reference standard to compare.
Does your ammunition (Do you even use the same ammunition for test consistency?) going through a thin part of a random stump provide any repeatable data THR members could use? Due to wood density difference from hardwood to softwood and age/condition of stump, penetration depth could wildly vary. And my head may not be as hard as yours.
Like my comments for accuracy testing at set distances (Say 15/25 feet), if you are going to test penetration, you need a pre-determined medium to measure penetration depth (Like water, gel, denim/gel, etc.).
As to quality of audio and distracting traffic noise, I could not make up most of what you said (Keep in mind, THR members may be veterans with attenuated hearing/hearing damage or older in age with hearing loss and really could benefit from clear audio
). If you were needing a video on how to cook a certain dish and the video audio quality was like yours, would you continue watching the video or stop and watch something else? Most would watch something else as information being conveyed would not reach the viewer (And I am sure you want the viewers to hear what you have to say).And playing a rather long intro video of movie scenes, I don't think really helps ... not to mention copyright issues (You did get usage permission, right?) - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?pages/code-of-conduct/
"5. You agree to respect the copyright of others. If you don't own the rights to something, do not post it unless you have received prior written permission from the owner. Absent that permission, please just link to it and provide a brief summary of the contents."
Your threads are what I would consider "drive-by" to drive traffic to your Youtube videos without offering much beneficial content to THR members. Here's a listing of your threads often with just a linked video and no significant discussion of content - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?search/42528873/
"6. Drive-by posting is not allowed. A drive-by is: (1) Starting off a discussion (thread) with the posting of a link, or other copied content, without any meaningful commentary describing what the link or copied content is about or what there is to discuss; or (2) posts with no meaningful or contributory content."
Without "meaningful commentary", members have no idea what "tough thin rod" means and why you posted that picture. I still don't know how the "thin rod" correlates to your OP.
If you start gun review threads that are informative with measurable, repeatable test data using consistent test criteria, I would gladly read them and even watch your videos.
Consider these member and moderator comments for your future threads:
Though I skipped through most of it, I'm still wondering WTH I just watched
