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.

My conceal carry while traveling
By Nomad1820 on 10 May 2021
Based on the M1911A1 but shortened and customized a bit for conceal carry, this little .45 shoots very well. I have had her for 5 years now, having found her at a gun show and got a good deal on her. I had gone in looking for just that form of the .45 ACP for a couple of reasons, first I still have around 900 rounds of ammo from my going out of business sale of my gunsmith/gun dealer shop, and had sold off all my other ammo, (well not my .22 LR, who doesn't need a lot of .22's?) and secondly the price of my Astra A-100 is a bit more then this firearm, well at the time of purchase around 300 bucks more then I paid for her. I carry it when traveling in our Motor Home, which we tour these US States, (till COVID that was!) and keeping tabs on the laws of the states, have the capability of locking the gun away per California and New York Standards, as well as a holster on my drivers door for those more conservative 2nd Amendment. States where conceal permits are still honored.
