Description
The G2 Research R.I.P. 9mm Luger Ammo 92 Grain G2 R.I.P. Fragmenting Hollow Point Lead Free Box of 100 rounds Direct is a purpose-built defensive load for shooters who demand terminal performance that deviates from standard hollow points. It’s engineered for those who prioritize controlled fragmentation and barrier-blind operation in a lead-free projectile. Its 92-grain weight allows for a muzzle velocity of 1,350 feet per second, creating a distinct ballistic profile.
Key Features
- Radically Invasive Projectile (R.I.P.) Design: The projectile’s eight pre-segmented petals are designed to separate upon impact, creating multiple wound channels. This matters for maximizing tissue disruption and energy transfer downrange.
- Lead-Free, Solid Copper Construction: The monolithic projectile contains no lead, making it suitable for ranges with environmental restrictions. This matters for shooters who need a non-toxic option without sacrificing terminal ballistics.
- Barrier-Blind Performance: The solid copper base and pointed tip are engineered to defeat intermediate barriers like drywall or auto glass before the fragmentation sequence initiates. This matters for maintaining projectile integrity and terminal effect in real-world scenarios.
- Controlled Fragmentation: Unlike some fragmenting rounds, the R.I.P. is designed to have its core and petals separate in a predictable pattern. This matters for consistent, repeatable terminal performance under stress.

Pros & Cons
Pros:
- Produces a unique and devastating wound profile through controlled fragmentation.
- Lead-free construction meets environmental requirements and reduces barrel fouling.
- Solid copper design provides reliable penetration through intermediate barriers.
Cons:
- Higher cost per round compared to conventional jacketed hollow points.
- The lighter 92-grain projectile can have a different point of impact than standard 115gr or 124gr training ammo, requiring dedicated zero verification.
Who Should Buy This
- The shooter seeking a technologically distinct defensive option that prioritizes maximum tissue disruption over deep, single-channel penetration.
- The end-user who operates in jurisdictions with lead ammunition restrictions and requires a high-performance, non-toxic alternative for mission-critical applications.
FAQ
Is G2 Research R.I.P. 9mm Luger Ammo 92 Grain G2 R.I.P. Fragmenting Hollow Point Lead Free Box of 100 rounds Direct worth the price?
If your priority is a lead-free round with extreme terminal effects from fragmentation, it justifies its cost. For general-purpose defense where cost-per-round is a major factor, standard JHPs may be more economical. It is a specialist tool.
What comes with G2 Research R.I.P. 9mm Luger Ammo 92 Grain G2 R.I.P. Fragmenting Hollow Point Lead Free Box of 100 rounds Direct?
You receive 100 rounds of ammunition packaged in a cardboard box. Each cartridge features the distinct R.I.P. projectile. It is a direct purchase of factory-loaded ammunition, not a component kit.
How does G2 Research R.I.P. 9mm Luger Ammo 92 Grain G2 R.I.P. Fragmenting Hollow Point Lead Free Box of 100 rounds Direct compare?
It differs from traditional expanding hollow points by design. Where a JHP creates one primary wound channel, the R.I.P. is engineered to create several. Compared to other fragmenting rounds, its solid copper base aims to provide more consistent barrier penetration before fragmentation.
