.45 ACP history

i'd been shooting a 629 in 44mag (8.375") for 2 years before getting a 1911 in 45acp....................i could barely hit the dirt with the 1911 as i was terrible with that firearm. thought maybe it was because of the bullets in the 45 were half the speed of the 44 was? i gave it 1k rounds tryout to see if i'd improve............nope, didn't happen so off it went..............27 years later i bought a g21 and boy id it change for the best...............i could shoot it very well, so it got me to believe it wasn't the 45 being the issue, but the 1911.......................now i'm on the hunt to but a few more 45acp's that AREN'T a 1911............p220, whatever cz model is, possibly a hk (not sure about which 1 or more) and not sure of what else is out there.

p220 is a nice .45
Also, look at HK and FN in .45 🤠😊
 
I love the .45 but I do hate AI presentations “the point 45”, “point 39, point 357 and point 460 Rowland”, oh the 1 300 fps”. Also, The origin was in fact the requirement for an auto replicate the old .45 Colt cartridge in the 1973 Colt that the military had used for decades in the 1800’s and then were pulled from reserve to deal with the Moro’s after the .38 LC failed to get reliable stops against determined enemies, Please let’s have REAL reviews by humans not computer generated stuff,

It actually replicated the .45 Schofield cartridge, which was more commonly issued for use in .45 Colt revolvers than .45 Colt was.

well, being a 1911 fanboy as i am, i do have also a S&W 45 MP 2.0

actually i think, better than the G-21 that i had.

the other very good 45 that i have, is the CZ 97 B, but that is discontinueds long ago now...

heavy gun too, maybe weighs about as much as a 1911.


the S&W MP 2.0 45

(mine does not have the threaded barrel, and no safety)

 
I'm a long time fan of the .45acp and the 1911 pistol. For most of my adult life I've trusted them to protect me. I have no doubt that they'll get the job done. (y)
The only non-1911 .45 I own is a Sig P220. In fact, I shot it just last week. Great pistol! 😁

i got into the 1911 platform and 45ACP during the scandemic..

go to the LGS to buy another 9mm became a chore......shelves either nearly bare, or pricing jacked up, or order 1 and wait....a LONG wait till it came in..

walked over to the other display cases, and saw display case LOADED with 1911's...and another with revolvers....

soooo........the rest is history
