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

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 »
ESTA TODO MUY BIEN PRESENTADO,PERO DESEARÍA SABER QUE OPINIÓN FINAL TENDRÁ LA JUSTICIA
ACERCA DE QUIEN DISPARA AÚN ESTANDO EN SU DERECHO,CON ESTA MUNICIÓN 45 ACP
Not really needed for a .45 acp. It does just fine on its own as any old combat vet can attest, but what is really needed is to boost the effectiveness of smaller cartridges more often used than the 45 .
Tom, Jamie and Smitty are talking apples and oranges at least a little. For practice, which should be often, use a less expensive cartridge. You should shoot possibly one magazine of the expensive stuff every so often or find a practice cartridge that has the same cycle/recoil feel. For carry the most effective round you can find that your firearm likes. Likes = cycle in your pistol with zero malfunctions and is accurate at defensive distances. Just a thought.
wal mart sells remington jhp box of 100 for about what 20 of these cost
staying with my box of 100
I’ll stick with my Winchester 1911, 230 gr HP’s. They are completely reliable and expand just fine. And a box of 50 is less than these things for a box of 20.
