G2 Research Civic Duty 10mm Auto 122 Grain Expanding Solid Copper Lead-Free Ammunition - 20 Rounds

The G2 Research Civic Duty 10mm Auto ammunition combines barrier-defeating capability with controlled expansion designed for self-defense scenarios. Built on G2 Research's proven Trocar solid copper projectile architecture, the Civic Duty round is engineered to expand reliably upon contact with soft tissue while shedding energy inside the target rather than beyond it—a critical consideration in close-quarters defensive situations where over-penetration poses risk to bystanders. Each 122-grain bullet is lead-free, expanding to approximately 2.5 times its initial diameter to maximize energy transfer and create effective stopping performance.

Civic Duty ammunition is loaded with solid copper construction, which means no jacket-to-core separation and no jacket fragmentation. The round retains 99.9% of its weight during expansion, keeping the energy and momentum transfer concentrated in the intended target. For shooters carrying a 10mm for home defense or as a duty sidearm, this round represents a deliberate choice: proven barrier performance when you might need it, paired with premium self-defense terminal ballistics in routine defensive scenarios.

This ammunition arrives in boxes of 20 rounds, making it suitable for range testing, qualification practice, or duty carry. G2 Research's reputation for innovative projectile design—developed through rigorous real-world testing—stands behind every round. If you're running a 10mm and want self-defense ammunition engineered for modern terminal performance rather than generic bonded hollow points, Civic Duty warrants a close look.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Civic Duty different from standard bonded hollow points?

Civic Duty uses G2 Research's Trocar solid copper design rather than a traditional bonded hollow point. This architecture expands to 2.5× the bullet diameter and retains 99.9% of its weight, transferring energy more efficiently into the target rather than causing over-penetration. The solid copper construction eliminates jacket-to-core separation and fragmentation issues common in bonded designs.

Is this ammunition suitable for self-defense carry?

Yes. Civic Duty is specifically engineered for self-defense scenarios. It's designed to expand reliably, transfer energy to the target, and minimize over-penetration risk in close-quarters situations—all critical factors in home defense and duty carry decisions.

Is G2 Research Civic Duty lead-free?

Yes, all Civic Duty ammunition is loaded with lead-free solid copper projectiles, making it compliant with lead-free range requirements and environmental regulations in restricted shooting areas.

How many rounds are in a box of G2 Research Civic Duty 10mm?

Each box contains 20 rounds of 122-grain Civic Duty ammunition.
