G2 Research Civic Duty 45 ACP 164 Grain Lead-Free Expanding Solid Copper Ammo - 20 Rounds

G2 Research Civic Duty 45 ACP ammunition is built for serious self-defense with a solid copper, lead-free projectile design that prioritizes energy transfer and stopping power without the over-penetration problems that plague conventional hollow points. The Civic Duty round features the same innovative Trocar geometry that made G2 Research's R.I.P. rounds known in tactical circles, but refined specifically for barrier defeat and reliable expansion in defensive encounters. Each 164-grain round expands to 2.5 times its initial diameter when it contacts fluid, dumping virtually all of its energy into the target while retaining 99.9% of its bullet weight—eliminating the risk of rounds passing through walls, vehicles, or other obstacles in close-quarters situations where overpenetration could endanger bystanders.

Whether you're carrying for home defense, professional security, or sport shooting that demands accountability, the Civic Duty round delivers consistent, predictable terminal performance. The all-copper construction means no lead exposure during handling or cleanup, and the 6- to 8-inch penetration window keeps energy right where it counts—in the threat, not beyond it. G2 Research engineered this round to defeat common barriers like drywall and auto glass without sacrificing the expansion characteristics that matter most in a critical encounter.

This product comes as a box of 20 rounds, ready to load into your 45 ACP magazine. Civic Duty ammunition represents a thoughtful, engineered approach to self-defense ammunition—you're buying precision terminal ballistics from a company that understands the physics and the responsibility that comes with every round.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Civic Duty 45 ACP ammunition suitable for self-defense carry?

Yes. Civic Duty rounds are engineered specifically for self-defense, with expansion and penetration characteristics designed to stop threats in close-quarters scenarios while minimizing over-penetration risk. The 164-grain solid copper projectile expands reliably and retains nearly all its weight inside the target.

Will Civic Duty ammo over-penetrate through walls or barriers?

Civic Duty is designed to resist over-penetration. The round retains 99.9% of its bullet weight inside the target, and the Trocar geometry allows it to defeat common barriers like drywall and auto glass before expanding—keeping energy in the threat zone rather than beyond it.

Is this ammunition lead-free?

Yes. Civic Duty uses a solid copper projectile with no lead content, eliminating lead exposure during handling and cleanup and making it suitable for shooters concerned with environmental impact.

How many rounds are in a box?

Each box contains 20 rounds of G2 Research Civic Duty 45 ACP ammunition.
