I carry an m9 loaded with +P hollowpoints, FMJ is for targets, I never want to worry about over penetration, the price will have to come down a bit, but I would love to have these bullets for carry.
ReplyI will once price drops. Would be nice to KNOW my small caliber, low round EDC weapon can get the job done in 1 shot. FTFs would be my biggest concern.
ReplyIn order to test it's effectiveness. Appears that it may be a safer home defense ammo.
ReplyThe point of home defense is to protect my family , if there is a better way to do it then why not .
ReplyIf someone is going to try to hurt my family I want to be to stop them immediately
ReplyPrudence dictates that one should be armed as well or better that our adversaries, be they foreigh or DEMESTIC, THE LATTER CURRENTLY THE MUCH GREATER THREAT.
ReplyLooked it to it and seen some testing. Current carry the 50gr liberty 9mm @2000fps after self testing. Not sure if I'll switch but will try it out.
Replymy personal protection, as well as the protection of my family IS my reason!
ReplyI'd like to test fire them into ballistic gel under various conditions and with various guns to see if their claims are accurate. Actually use them against someone? Hell no!
Reply.380 and 9mm have been considered in-adequate by many as stopping power. These will change that and allow me to carry a smaller firearm that still has one shot stopping power.
ReplyI would use them as the first two rounds in my home defense gun magazine. Even at $12 per round it would be better to have them and never need to use them.
ReplyIf it stops an intruder with one shot, it lessens the intruders ability to inflict harm.
ReplyThe ultimate round! 9mm bullet is more effective than a .45 round. Therefore shooting a 9mm handgun , with lower recoil and more bullets per magazine answers the need for ultimate protection
ReplyIF I could afford it; I'd buy to test it 1st. A tech paradygm shift in ammo demands it IMHO. i.e. Mfgr claims 0 malfunction feed/fire/eject failures. I'd verify ballistics & accuracy up to 25+yds
Replyfrom what I saw in the video....if this ammo works as intended it may very well be the last defensive rounds I will ever buy....that's if I can find some for dad my wife an myself.
ReplyFirst off, god forbid, if I ever had to shoot someone and got into a civil case the other sides attorney would have a field day with the R.I.P bullet especially the way they're promoting it. Second my

ReplyThe way the court system and anti gun thinking is today, it could be looked at as "NAME was wanting the most devastating wound he could inflict. Only intent was to kill." Seems overkill to me
ReplyIt's a gimmick. It also makes gun owners look like we're "blood thirsty." It's named "R.I.P." Seriously?
ReplySou.ds like it should be banned because it is just too lethal and too expensive. Will cause many law suits and problems for gu n owners.
ReplyI know what I need, what works to stop the threat, and my skill combined are most important elements.
ReplyI've seen some ballistics gel tests, and I wasn't impressed enough to buy it at 50 cents a round, let alone twelve bucks
ReplyWho needs ammo that will kill everytime? I can understand military use but civilians do not need ammo with this capability. And to spend $12 a round is a bit costly to never use.
ReplyWhats the purpose of having ammo such as this. Won't be long before it is outlawed anyway...
ReplyThere are good companies that make good ammo out there. this just leaves too many questions for and I am a 45acp guy and for a shotgun there had been stuff like this for decades. GOD BLESS AMERICA
ReplyTo expensive and a FMJ will do the same thing. its not necessary especially for that price.
ReplyThe videos show it.passing.well through and beyond the 18 inch ballistic gelatin. I will shoot to stop thethreat. Not have the bullet pass through to an unintended target.
ReplyI knew immediately this round was a joke when their marketing videos showed a bunch of dudes firing full-auto pistols into ballistics gel rather than showing actual ballistics testing results.
ReplyDon't need it. If I needed something that destructive, I'll just use one of my rifles. $242 buys a lot of reloading supplies too.
ReplyI do like the advancement in technology, and i'm sure there's a nitch for this. For me, there's other effective ammunition on the market which costs much less.
ReplyIt's more destructive than necessary. To incapacitate is one thing, to butcher is another.
ReplyI see NO "normal" use for this type of bullet. It reminds me of "cop killers" and I think the company was irresponsible in even considering such a dangerous bullet. I guarantee criminals will love it.
ReplyBased on the test results on the Youtube channel Shootingthebull410. Ammo is overhyped
Replyis very expensive. it sounds like over kill. probably you will be in trouble due to the premeditation and intent to kill.
ReplyI do but I go rounds w/ my guy. Ever since China stopped taking our recycling he stopped doing it. Idk if all that is real, I have noticed that our garbage guy just loads both cans into the same dump bin & it’s not sorted. So that’s really disturbing. Every little bit helps I feel. I rec. everything
ReplyI do what I can but live in an area where they don't have it. Still I save bottles and cardboard to take to recycling. I cook from scratch so don't really have cans.
ReplyWe pay by the pound for certain items so why not pay less and recycle - it's the right thing to do for me and the environment.
ReplyI like to help the environment. I even pick up cans & bottles near my car in parking lots.
ReplyAlthough I can only hope that it's useful because there is no proof that what is supposedly sent to the recyclers they actually carry through. You always hear about it not being done.
We take our own garbage to the dump and pay by the pound. Recycling is free so the more we recycle the less we have to pay.
ReplyIt's not bogus I just do not have a place to drop it off in my area - if it's not close by I'm lazy and won't go out of my way (I'm a sad case).
ReplyI do what I can with cardboard and such but there is no recycling program where I live
ReplyMy local recycling company charges me to recycle, even though they're already making money on recycling that which people turn in to them.
