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.

There are some other variations of this gun before

There are some other variations of this gun. Actually Springfield started in 1999. I bought one of these variations in 1999 and it is a Springfield Long Slide V16, Super 45 ACP. Yes, that is right Springfield is the only company that I know of that built a Super 45 ACP caliber. You can't buy Super 45 ACP anywhere oh, you have to make it yourself. And you can only get the brass from StarLine. V 16 is talking about that there are 16 ports on top of the barrel. This gun has basically no recoil. They made it in other variations of a v12 which was a 5-inch barrel and a V8 that was a 4in barrel. I give $1,000 for this gun back in 1999 brand new. I have shot some Super 45 in it but mostly I have run just standard 45 ACP. These guns were hand-fitted at Springfield Armory. They are amazingly accurate. With open sights, I can cut golf tees into at 25 yards and do it 8 out of 10 times. I have mostly only use 230-grain semi-wadcutter hard cast lead projectiles. They are extremely reliable in this
