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.

She's a beaut!
By Bullwinkle on 18 Jul 2022
First round ever fired was a stovepipe. Now, almost two decades later, it hasn't hiccupped once since that first round. Beautiful pistol to look at, handles well, reliable, with excellent results on target. Definitely one of my better purchases; and the gravy is that it's my wife's favorite (centerfire) pistol to shoot.
