G2 Research Civic Duty .40 S&W 122gr Copper Expansion

G2 Research’s Civic Duty ammunition in .40 S&W (brand part no. G00620) loads a 122-grain solid copper expansion projectile adapted from the company’s fragmenting R.I.P. design into a round tuned for defeating barriers without the over-penetration risk of a typical bonded hollow point. G2 Research engineers Civic Duty’s Trocar-style solid copper bullet to expand to roughly 2.5 times its original diameter after contacting a fluid medium, transferring the bulk of its energy immediately instead of continuing to travel unpredictably. Typical bonded hollow points can over-penetrate, wasting energy and trauma beyond the intended target, and G2 Research built Civic Duty specifically to solve that problem while still defeating common barriers as effectively as its flagship R.I.P. line. For .40 S&W carriers who want a defensive round engineered around barrier defeat and controlled energy transfer, this handgun ammunition is purpose-built.
