      .45 ACP defensive round comparison

      When I was going through AIT at Ft. Sam, we were told that the Geneva Convention and Hague Declaration decided that fragmenting and hollow point rounds were inhumane because of the excessive soft tissue damage they cause and therefore are banned in warfare.

      .45 ACP defensive round comparison

      Yeah... But I'm not under 35... Soooooo... As far as saying it's obsolete, I will have to disagree... The .45 has its application, as does the .380, 9mm, and 40 cal...

      I recently purchased a box of G2 Research R.I.P (Radically Invasive Projectile) .45 ACP rounds. Typically, my pistol and mags are loaded with Federal .45 ACP 230gr HST... Does anyone here have any experience with the R.I.P rounds (I have actually never heard of this particular round prior to...
