Description
The G2 Research RIP 9mm 92gr load, item G00000, is a 20 round box of 9mm Luger ammunition from G2 Research, loaded with a 92 grain solid copper R.I.P. fracturing hollow point bullet. G2 Research lists 2 inch groups at 25 yards for this caliber.
G2 Research RIP 9mm 92gr Overview
P. is one of the most talked-about loads for it. This version uses a light 92 grain machined copper bullet, well under the 115 to 147 grain weights of typical 9mm loads, so it moves faster and recoils with a lighter push. Instead of mushrooming, the trocar nose is built to separate into petals that spread outward while the base keeps traveling, giving several wound paths from one hit. G2 Research lists deep penetration for the base, which addresses the common worry that fragmenting rounds stop too shallow.
How the R.I.P. Bullet Works
The R.I.P. bullet, short for Radically Invasive Projectile, is machined from solid copper with a hollow nose cut into a ring of sharp, trocar-style petals. On impact with soft tissue the petals are designed to break away and travel outward as separate fragments, each creating its own wound channel, while the solid base continues straight ahead for depth. G2 Research lists 9 separate wound channels, a fragment spread of up to 6 inches and 14 to 16 inches of penetration for this caliber.
Barrier Performance
G2 Research states that the R.I.P. design defeats common barriers such as sheet metal, drywall, windshields, plywood and heavy winter clothing. Because the projectile is one piece of machined copper, there is no jacket to separate from a lead core, and the base keeps driving after the petals break away. That combination of fragmentation and a penetrating base is what sets this line apart from conventional hollow points.
Firearm Compatibility
This ammunition is made for handguns chambered in 9mm Luger, also marked 9x19mm or 9mm Parabellum. It suits the Glock 17, 19, 43 and 48, the SIG P365 and P320, the Smith and Wesson M&P9 and Shield, and most other 9mm pistols and pistol-caliber carbines. Do not fire it in a 9mm Makarov, 380 ACP or 38 Super firearm. Confirm feeding with a full box before you carry it.
Lead-Free Construction
Every G2 Research R.I.P. bullet is machined from solid copper on precision equipment, so there is no lead in the projectile. That makes it a good fit for shooters who want to reduce lead exposure, and for areas where lead-free projectiles are preferred or required. The machined process also keeps weight and dimensions consistent from round to round, which helps accuracy and predictable feeding.
Recoil and Shootability
A 92 grain 9mm bullet produces a quick, light recoil impulse that many shooters find easier to manage than heavy 147 grain loads. That helps with fast follow-up shots from compact carry pistols. Point of impact may differ from your training ammunition, so check it at the distances you practice.
Practice and Testing
Defensive ammunition costs more than range ammunition, but it is worth running at least a box through your own firearm before you rely on it. Check that every round feeds from a full and nearly empty magazine, ejects cleanly and lands where you aim at typical defensive distances. Many shooters practice with less expensive loads and then confirm zero and function with the carry load a few times a year.
Storage and Care
Store ammunition in a cool, dry place in its original box, away from solvents and lubricants that can contaminate primers. Rotate carry ammunition periodically, and set aside any round with a dented case, loose bullet or signs of corrosion.
