On March 20, 1911, the Army Board heartily recommended the new Model 1911 pistol and the .45 ACP cartridge to be officially adopted as our military pistol and cartridge. The Chief of Ordnance and the Secretary of War made the adoption official on March 29, 1911.

The .45 ACP (right) became the U.S. Service cartridge in 1911,
following the black-powder- era .45 Colt (left) and .45 Schofield (center),
which had proven effective battle cartridges.
