Has anyone tried out the G2 Research RIP 9MM 96 Grain Hollow Point Ammo?? I got a box from a friend and I'm going to try them out in my PCII but a little hesitant on firing them through the Solo.Any feedback would be appreciated.

Wow! Those look wicked. Not sure they'd be something I'd be interested in.

They look like there a real pain in the thumb to load.

At about $2.25 a round those are a little expensive, not to mention how they would go over in court if you ever had to use one to defend yourself.

Check our their website and watch the video they have on the round.

I won't be using these at $2.25 a bullet either.I was just curious about them and split the cost of a box with a friend.I'm going to the range on Saturday to try them in my PCII but keeping it away from my Solo.As Chuck43 noted,the courts could have a hayday with a bullet that makes a 6in diameter hole in someone..

How about eight 1" holes? Is that ok?

I agree. That round is a lawyers dream. Even if every other aspect of a shoot was considered legal and justified, the concept of premeditated murder would be front and center with these things.

Show the bad guy that bullet first. that should stop him in his tracks. then pistol whip the lawyer.

Love it Bigdog10.. That's funny

What a marketing idea!!

I saw a video on these recently. They're definitely neat. But I would not carry them and they're too expensive for practice. That's a bunch of projectiles I'm responsible for.

Independent Review of G2 RIP

In the Georgia Outdoor Trader site I found a Youtube video of an independent test that was made on the G2 RIP ammo. It did not fair well in the real world. I'm not impressed!! Check it out:

I wasn't either.I shot the 20 that I had last week out in the woods and blew up some planks on the side of an old barn.Won't be trying them out again.

For the price, I think it's just a gimmick. I'd prefer a good, solid, high-velocity hollow point that's proven.

You know, I have to disagree, respectfully.

The issue on any shooting is whether or not it is a good shoot. Type of ammo is meaningless. A type of ammo can't possibly be considered premeditated murder.

I also think that ammo is right up there with the mythical White Rhino.

In New Jersey it's a felony to own hollow points! I have been told or I read someplace(don't know how true) you can get 10 years per round you have! So depending on what state your in yes ammunition does make a difference!

 

[Insta-Gator]

OMG, the northeast politicians have lost their minds. The land of draconian laws.


Did they eve consider the hollow point reduces the chance of a through and through causing damage, in jury, or death of someone behind the intended target? They just don't get it (on so many levels.)

Yes, but the ammo itself is the crime.
