About the Gun

The Predator is designed to reduce recoil and improve accuracy by eliminating the barrel bushing and installing a full-length guide rod and a coned match grade barrel. The added weight to the muzzle along with the full length guide rod dampens the recoil and muzzle flip, which allows for faster follow up shots. Features Nighthawk two-piece magwell, serrated slide top, checkered hi-cut front strap and back strap, lightweight aluminum tri-cavity trigger.

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.
