G2R R.I.P. Ammo "The last round you'll ever need" ?

Recommended Posts

I think there is a pretty long thread on this ammo not to long ago. I think the conclusion was just buy a proven defensive round and don't fall for gimmicks. With that said I wouldn't want to be shot by any round no matter what it looks like or is marketed to do

 

this signature exceeds the 15 character count capacity

So lets think about this for a second. Initially the front of the bullet fragments like a glaser which is bad for penetration, then the remaining part continues on like a fmj. I'm not sure combining the two worst penetration characteristics of other rounds into one round is going to vault it magically into a wonder round. I'll stick with HST's.

Sounds like a prosecutor would have a field day with an ammo named "R.I.P."

 

Which is funny (or sad) since the ammunition itself is trash from a terminal ballistics standpoint. Unless he was bringing a case that the shooter was intentionally trying to maim his target.

 

But a fool and his money...

    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
