G2 Research Civic Duty .40 S&W 122gr Self-Defense

Purpose-Built Self-Defense Performance

G2 Research's Civic Duty ammunition represents a thoughtful approach to personal protection. Built on the company's proven Trocar solid copper projectile design, this .40 S&W load addresses a critical problem with conventional hollow point ammunition: over-penetration.

How It Works

When a standard bonded hollow point over-penetrates, it wastes energy passing through the target rather than transferring it where it matters. Civic Duty ammunition solves this through controlled expansion:

• Controlled Expansion: The projectile expands to 2.5 times its initial diameter upon contact with fluid media
• Energy Transfer: Expansion is engineered to transfer 100% of the round's energy to the target
• Weight Retention: The projectile retains 99.9% of its weight, eliminating fragmentation concerns
• Barrier Defeat: Despite its expansion characteristics, it maintains the barrier-defeating capability of G2 Research's R.I.P. design

Practical Advantages

For close-quarters defensive situations, over-penetration creates liability and safety concerns. Civic Duty ammunition's design minimizes these risks while maximizing stopping effectiveness. The 122-grain load in .40 S&W provides a balanced platform for reliable feeding and consistent performance.

Compliance

This ammunition is lead-free and California-certified nonlead, making it suitable for use in restricted areas while maintaining full defensive capability.
