The G2 Research Civic Duty 9mm Luger load (G2 Research part no. G00602) puts a 94-grain solid copper expanding projectile into a box of 20 rounds. G2 Research adapted the Trocar design of its R.I.P. fragmenting bullet into this expanding self-defense round. The maker lists a 1-inch expansion diameter and says the projectile opens to 2.5 times its initial diameter after contact with a fluid medium. It is a lead-free option for a 9mm carry pistol or home-defense handgun.
