WINDER, Ga. -(Ammoland.com)- Consider an already large .45 ACP round, which has proven over many years to stop fights quickly, and render it 2-3 times more effective.
That’s some serious stopping power.
The 230 grain .45 ACP at 850 FPS was designed to stop or wound people quickly on a battlefield.
A benefit on the battlefield but not for civilian self-defense due to over penetration of the intended target and becoming a danger to others.
Newer and hotter .45 ACP hollow point rounds in the 185 grain 1,000 FPS range are an improvement.
They expand up to .65 caliber (16.51 millimeters) yet still produce over penetration harming property or innocent people.
Here’s the good news. The new G2 Research Civic Duty .45 ACP + P round solves several problems.
It is designed to penetrate 6 to 8 inches in ballistic gel, depositing all its energy into the target. The design prevents it from passing through the target, instead quickly and fully opening inside the gel or fluid to prevent over penetration.
It will expand to nearly 11/2 inches (nearly 38 millimeters). The large copper petals open like airplane propellers causing a large wound channel. It will stop the fight–quickly!
MSRP $59.99 a box of twenty. These G2 Research Civic Duty rounds are individual CNC machined bullets.
This level of engineering is needed to predict performance and maximum consistency for civilian self-defense.
Specifications:
- Caliber: .45ACP +P
- Bullet: 164 grain solid copper CNC machined petal pealing hollow point.
- Velocity: 1020 fps from 5-inch 1911 pistol

Everybody has thier favorite blle or round. But how many have tested what they bought to make sure it works in thier thier… Read more »
Um. Not opposed to “stopping power”, but what the hell is 11/2 inches??? Why not just say 5 inches or whatever is close to that? [2.5 cm = 25 mm = 1 inch] – so, therefore, one can assume 11/2 inches = 5.5 inches = about what in mm or cm? Why the camouflage?
Who is this person “Smitty”? Their comments are off-base to say the least. Smitty wants everyone to believe he/she is a total expert when it comes to .45 rounds. Really???????? Lots of opinions with no back-up.

WAY over priced. You don’t have more than a buck and a half in materials here per round. Especially with modern machinery and production. They should be in the $35.00 per 20 range and they would STILL make about a 15% profit per box. A standard hollow point 230 or 185 grain slug in a .45ACP is more than enough to stop a fight (as John Moses Browning designed it). There are many .45ACP self defense rounds out there in the $30.00 range for 20 rounds. Like Robert Wilson said, the key is to shoot your weapon and fire a… Read more »
