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.

Quality Revolver
By EmeraldCoaster on 16 Apr 2019
My pre-lock 625-4 doesn’t have the capacity of my 1911, but it’s more fun to shoot. The N-frame has enough heft to tame +P recoil, but I added an X-frame recoil absorbing grip to standardize it with my other S&W revolvers. Very accurate on paper out to 25 yds (indoor limit). The trigger is smooth and predictable both DA and SA. Sights are fine. Both 45ACP (with moon clips) and 45AR function flawlessly. Note: Firing pin on hammer with this ‘95 production version.
