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.

COOL CLASSIC-STYLE WORKHORSE
By quavis on 15 Oct 2020
The"Rock Island 1911 45 ACP" is a well-constructed,sporty and fun-shooting rebirth of the famed lengendary "Colt M1911 A1 45 ACP" of a "World Wars" storied past.There's nothing fancy about it but It's big,powerful,balanced,ergonomically designed and shoots sweetly! The sights are the fixed GI-version,yet adequately accurate to that respect.The RIA 1911 45 is a real keeper and true value for the price.I absolutely love and recommend this sidearm!
