    New Ammo

    If this stuff works as advertised, you wife carrying that .380 ACP may not be such a let down in effectiveness as it might seem. Nasty looking stuff, no lead.

    Not to be rude but this stuff is old news, and I think the consensus is that it is not worth the money.

      Third party testing using FBI spec ballistic gelatin has shown that the 9x19mm G2 RIP ammo is as effective as .22LR segmented HP ammo.

        Exactly Right, and that without any recoil or anticipation in a highly charged emotional situation using 22lr vs all other calibers.

        For some reason people frown when I say that my preferred carry is a 22 mag...

        To each his own seems to fit here...........

        I suppose there is a way cool factor on ammo such as the RIP. It appears as if I'm old school in using tried and true.

        Think of the fun a Liberal Prosecutor could have with a defensive round named RIP........

          If you'd like to watch test #3 of RIP ammo by Dan Zimmerman, it is here : http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...p-vs-gold-dot/

          The link has links to his first (1) and second tests (2) of RIP ammo if you want to view them.

          From his testing, I believe the petals do NOT give adequate penetration and I would not use this ammo for self defense. There's much better ammo available
          that has passed the FBI protocol testing.
