Geco has announced the release of two new lines of personal defense ammunition: Red Zone and Action Extreme. Each of these new lines is made to embody the required features and standards of modern defensive ammunition, including excellent deformation with deep penetration and high residual mass. Geco says by meeting these demands, the company has ensured that Red Zone and Action Extreme can be trusted and relied upon for personal defense.
Geco Red Zone 9mm is designed as the ultimate personal defense cartridge, featuring aggressive terminal performance and a very low risk of over penetration to ensure that each round delivers devastating expansion and on-point accuracy.
