About the Cartridge

This cartridge was developed by John Browning and was adopted by the United States Ordnance Department along with the Colt-Browning automatic pistol in 1911. It has also been made the official military handgun chambering by several other governments, notably Argentina, Mexico and Norway. The 45 Automatic is the most powerful military handgun cartridge in use today. This is a heavy and powerful sub-sonic round. Although its muzzle energy can exceed 400 ft-lbs, its velocity and bullet weight creates a steep trajectory curve that limits its effective range to self-defense distances.

OK, I paid $100 bucks for it when I bought it in 2001 and it has a value of $115 now Hahahaha. This one is a steel frame. They (the JH Model), they are JHP now, I guess the 'P' is for polymer frame, which they have now. NOW! This is GREAT gun, even empty I could bludgeon someone to death with it. It's accurate, powerful and fun.
