Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Civic Duty round differ from a standard hollow point?
Traditional bonded hollow point bullets are prone to over-penetration, meaning they pass through the target and continue traveling — posing a risk to bystanders. The G2 Research Civic Duty uses a solid copper Trocar design that expands to 2.5 times its original diameter upon contact with fluid, transferring 100% of its energy into the target and retaining 99.9% of its weight inside, dramatically reducing over-penetration risk compared to conventional hollow points.
Is this ammunition compatible with my 45 ACP pistol?
The Civic Duty round is chambered in standard 45 ACP and is compatible with the vast majority of semi-automatic pistols chambered for that cartridge, including popular platforms like the 1911, Glock 21, Springfield XD, and Smith & Wesson M&P45. As with any new ammunition, we recommend testing a box for reliable feeding and function in your specific firearm before carrying it for self-defense.
Is solid copper (lead-free) ammunition required or preferred at California shooting ranges?
Many indoor ranges in California mandate lead-free or frangible ammunition to reduce airborne lead exposure. The G2 Research Civic Duty's solid copper, lead-free construction makes it an excellent choice for both range practice and real-world defensive carry, ensuring you can train with the same round you carry without running afoul of indoor range restrictions.
