The G2 Research Civic Duty 10mm 122 Grain Solid Copper self-defense ammunition delivers a revolutionary approach to terminal performance, combining barrier-defeating penetration with controlled, dramatic expansion designed specifically for personal protection scenarios.
- Solid copper 122-grain projectile expands to 2.5× its original diameter on impact
- Transfers 100% of kinetic energy into the target for maximum stopping power
- Retains 99.9% bullet weight, virtually eliminating dangerous over-penetration risk
- Innovative Trocar nose design defeats soft barriers before expanding reliably
- Launching at 1,100 FPS for a flat, consistent trajectory in compact and full-size 10mm pistols
- 20-round box packaging ideal for carry rotation and range verification
Who This Is For
The G2 Research Civic Duty 10mm load is purpose-built for armed civilians, concealed carriers, and home defenders who demand reliable expansion, controlled penetration, and maximum energy transfer in close-quarters situations. It's an ideal choice for anyone who carries a 10mm pistol — such as the Glock 20, Springfield XDm, or Colt Delta Elite — and needs a self-defense round that performs decisively without the over-penetration risks associated with traditional bonded hollow points.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the G2 Research Civic Duty differ from standard hollow point ammunition?
Unlike traditional bonded hollow points that can over-penetrate or fail to expand through common barriers, the Civic Duty round uses G2 Research's proprietary solid copper Trocar design to reliably defeat soft barriers before expanding to 2.5 times its original diameter. This controlled expansion transfers 100% of its energy into the target and retains virtually all bullet weight, dramatically reducing the risk of dangerous over-penetration in close-quarters environments.
Is this ammunition compatible with my 10mm pistol, and will it feed reliably?
G2 Research Civic Duty 10mm ammunition is designed to function in standard 10mm Auto chambered pistols, including popular models like the Glock 20/29, Springfield XDm 10mm, Colt Delta Elite, and similar platforms. As with any self-defense load, it is strongly recommended that you test fire several rounds through your specific firearm to verify reliable feeding, chambering, and ejection before carrying it for personal protection.
How should I store this ammunition, and what is its typical shelf life?
Store G2 Research Civic Duty ammunition in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and humidity. Keep it in its original packaging when not in use to protect the solid copper projectiles and brass casings from environmental exposure. When stored properly, quality centerfire ammunition like this can remain reliable and safe to use for a decade or more. Inspect cartridges periodically for signs of corrosion or damage before use.
