About the Gun

The original Model 22 (45 Military M1950) revolver was produced from 1951 to 1966. It had the same specifications as 1917 Army, except for a redesigned hammer block. Only about 4000 of the original model were produced. Smith & Wesson re-introduced this 'N'-frame revolver as part of their 'Classics' series in 2008.

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.
