Frequently Asked Questions
G2 Research RIP 40 Ammo for Sale
Are G2 rip ammo legal?
G2 R.I.P. rounds are legal under federal law and in most U.S. states. However, New Jersey bans hollow-point carry outside the home, and a few other jurisdictions have similar restrictions. Check your state and local laws before purchasing or carrying them.
Is G2 rip ammo good?
G2 R.I.P. rounds show consistent fragmentation in ballistic gelatin but penetration often falls short of the FBI's 12-inch minimum standard. They cost $37–$49 per box. Most ballistic experts recommend proven hollow points like Federal HST or Speer Gold Dot for more reliable defensive performance.
What are the drawbacks of rip bullets?
RIP bullets often under-penetrate compared to FBI standards, frequently falling short of the recommended 12–18 inches. They're pricier than conventional hollow points, typically around $41 per box. Limited real-world testing data exists, and fragmentation performance varies inconsistently. Most defensive experts recommend proven alternatives like Federal HST or Speer Gold Dot instead.
Is .40 good for home defense?
.40 S&W is capable for home defense. It delivers more energy than 9mm but produces more recoil, which can hurt accuracy under stress. Modern 9mm hollow points perform comparably with better capacity and less recoil. Use quality defensive ammunition and practice regularly with whatever you choose.
