G2 Research Civic Duty Round Turns .380 ACP into Major Fight Stopper

G2 ResearchWinder, GA-(Ammoland.com)- G2 Research – NEW Civic Duty high-expansion ammunition turns the often underrated .380 ACP into a serious fight stopper.

G2 Research’s new high-efficiency .380 ACP Civic Duty self-defense round changes the game. The pure copper, 69-grain, light weight low recoil, specialized CNC-machined bullet moves at 1,250 FPS, then on impact instantly expands into six (6) big flesh-cutting copper petals almost one (1) inch in diameter – transforming the .380 into a truly fast fight stopper.

The .380 is seen by many as the red-headed stepchild of the full power 9mm, even though, at self-defense ranges, the .380 performs comparably to the 9mm. Generally, the .380’s lighter bullet and 100-250 fps velocity drop (depending on the loads) has been the major stumbling point for many. Well, not anymore!

The all-new Civic Duty.380 ACP round creates 9mm stopping power in a smaller, lower-recoil package, with the added benefit that its design:

  • reduces the possibility of through and through shots that can harm bystanders;
  • increases the chance that all the bullet energy stays inside the target; and
  • lower recoil allows for faster, more accurate followup shots (if necessary!)

The sharp, flesh-cutting bullet petals also cause more impact pain and create large temporary and permanent wound channels, all of which adds to its fight-stopping capabilities.

Specifications:

  • Caliber: .380 ACP
  • Bullet weight: 69 grains
  • Velocity: 1,250 fps
  • MSRP: $40.99 box of 20

This might sting like hell if you’re wearing a t-shirt, but I doubt it would penetrate a heavy winter coat.

I’ll stick with Underwood 90 gr. GDHP rated at 1200 fps. BTW, does the G stand for gimmicky?

Fight stopper- .44 magnum, (and above), just ask Dirty Harry…

I am going to wait and read some reviews and some test results about this 380 ACP Round before I go shooting my mouth off.

You lost me when you claimed “major fight stopper.” Typical advertising mumbo-jumbo. Sometimes a .45 ACP isn’t a fight stopper, nor is the “full power 9mm,” nor at times the 5.56 rifle round.

And reading the “more accurate follow up shots (if necessary!)” was an “oh dear” moment.

I thought we already determined that the “RIP” round now apparently renamed the “Civic Duty” failed. The pedals broke off to quick and the retained mass didn’t penetrate deep enough to perform as promised.
At $2 a round this is ridiculous anyway.
If I’m wrong let me know and cite the shootings that it performed well in.
