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.

Awesom firearm
By ProfessorBean on 07 Jun 2020
I have owned this weapon for about 5 years, purchased it used. I have put around 900 rounds through it and never had any malfunctions. i open carry this pistol due to it's size, it would probably be a good shoulder concealed weapon as opposed to IWB. The gun out shot 4 modern 9mm and 1 modern .45
