G2 Research R.I.P. 40 S&W 115 Grain Fragmenting Solid Copper Lead-Free Ammo - 20 Rounds

The G2 Research R.I.P. 40 S&W is a lead-free, fragmenting solid copper round engineered for self-defense situations where terminal performance matters. Loaded to 115 grains with a muzzle velocity of 1080 fps and muzzle energy of 297 ft-lbs, this ammunition delivers the expansion characteristics that have made G2 Research's Radically Invasive Projectile (R.I.P.) design popular among defensive shooters. Each box contains 20 rounds.

The R.I.P. bullet is machined rather than stamped, creating nine separate wound channels designed to expand and separate upon impact. This engineered fragmentation creates a larger injury profile than conventional hollow points, distributing energy across a wider area. The solid copper construction makes this round completely lead-free—important for shooters concerned about range contamination or ammunition regulations in certain jurisdictions.

If you run a 40 S&W for home defense or concealed carry, the R.I.P. represents a purpose-built alternative to standard defensive loads. The precision machining and consistent velocity help ensure reliable performance from shot to shot. This is specialty ammunition, so check your local laws before purchasing and store accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does R.I.P. stand for?

R.I.P. stands for Radically Invasive Projectile. G2 Research's design features nine machined wound channels that separate and expand on impact, creating multiple wound paths rather than a single cavity.

Is G2 Research R.I.P. ammo legal for self-defense?

Lead-free fragmenting ammunition is legal in most U.S. jurisdictions for defensive use, but some states and local areas have restrictions. Always verify your local and state laws before purchasing or carrying any defensive ammunition.

What guns does 40 S&W R.I.P. ammo work in?

This ammunition is chambered in 40 S&W, so it's compatible with any firearm that chambers that cartridge. Always verify your specific gun's manual and ensure proper function with test fires before relying on any new ammunition for defense.

Is this lead-free ammo safe for indoor ranges?

Lead-free ammunition reduces range contamination compared to lead-core rounds, making it a better choice for indoor shooting. However, always follow your range's specific ammunition policies and ventilation guidelines.
