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.

Springer V-10
By EdnHSV on 16 Jan 2023
Great Gun for plinking and accurate up to about 20-25 yards. Much past that and it's really tough. I had my V-10 customized with aftermarket trigger, hammer, double safety, recoil spring and big dot sites. All that didn't really improve the gun overall. I still like it because it's a compact .45 and you can't go wrong with a 1911.
