G2 Research announced the introduction of a 9mm tracer round that does not have any heat or accidental fire concerns. G2 Research states the VIP round is safe for use both indoors and outdoors.

This video explains more about the new rounds. It also addresses some of the concerns put forth by members of the online media who have posted not-so-glowing reviews of the company’s existing product line.

According to the company’s site, the rounds use a 95 grain projectile and are rated for 1,200 fps. (Note: the press release states the velocity at 1,150 fps.) G2 Research lists the suggested retail price of this ammunition at $19.95 for a box of 20 rounds. A .45 ACP load is expected soon.
