G2r Civic Duty 45acp 164gr 20/500

The G2 Research Civic Duty 45 ACP 164-grain expanding self-defense round combines barrier-defeating capability with controlled expansion designed for personal protection scenarios. Built on G2 Research's proven Trocar solid copper projectile platform, the Civic Duty round maintains the penetration characteristics necessary to defeat intermediate barriers while delivering consistent expansion when contacting fluid media, expanding to approximately 2.5 times its initial diameter upon impact.

The 164-grain bullet weight in 45 ACP provides a balanced platform for modern defensive loads. This configuration delivers adequate velocity and energy transfer while maintaining controllable recoil in standard 45 ACP platforms. The solid copper construction eliminates traditional bonded-core bullet separation, addressing the overpenetration issues associated with conventional hollow-point designs that fail to maximize energy deposition within intended targets. The box contains 20 rounds, packaged for field use or range evaluation.

This ammunition serves law enforcement personnel, armed security professionals, and civilian self-defense practitioners who prioritize barrier penetration without sacrificing terminal effectiveness. The barrier-defeating performance distinguishes the Civic Duty round in scenarios involving intermediate cover—automotive glass, heavy clothing, or drywall—where conventional defensive ammunition may fail. Serious users evaluating 45 ACP defensive loads benefit from understanding how the Civic Duty round's design specifically addresses the penetration-vs.-expansion tradeoff that defines modern defensive ammunition engineering.
