Cutting Through the G2 RIP Hype | The Truth About Guns

http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...ing-phase-one/
"the G2 Research R.I.P. box is decorated with the letters “R.I.P.” in a design and color scheme that looks like something you might find on a tombstone... I could say a lot about this .... irresponsible, or even offensive to the very essence of self defense (which is about stopping an attack, not about killing the attacker). If a prosecutor could prove that you intended and set about to kill an attacker, your claim of self defense might just go out the window.

"...But that said, the only thing it really brings to the table that’s new (a big shallow surface wound) is done at the expense of delivering destruction where you want and need it – by putting the biggest possible bullet deep within the body.

Default RIP = gimmick

I'll stick with Gold Dots.

Cutting Through the Truth About Guns B.S. is more like it.

Who the #ell wrote the article?

You shoot to KILL, not wound!

Too .. I guarantee you that the RIP round will do more than leave a surface wound!

Lefty gun expert?

Not impressed. Solid copper lead free. Whoopi. Dractically reduced ballistic coefficient and lackluster accuracy . For the sake of looking scary. The 9mm doesn't need any more help in the areas of so so performance. Standard, proven bullets like the aforementioned Gold Dot or Hornady XTP will do for me.
