The 1904 Thompson-LaGarde Tests determined that the .45 caliber was the minimum needed for decisive stopping power. With that in mind, John Browning designed the 45 ACP in the same year. The Army soon adopted it for service along with Colt&#8217;s semi-automatic M1911 pistol.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What Does 45 ACP Offer Ballistically-Speaking?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What made the 45 ACP appealing to the Army back then still makes it appealing now. The round\u2019s .451\u201d diameter bullet is wide enough to produce a devastatingly wide wound channel. This is typically true even if it\u2019s an FMJ that\u2019s incapable of expanding. Its 230 grain bullet furthermore possesses the mass requisite for deep penetration through soft tissue. In terms of ballistics, its relatively low 830 fps muzzle velocity doesn\u2019t produce enough recoil and muzzle blast to make accurate rapid fire difficult. Furthermore, the 45 ACP\u2019s low chamber pressure doesn\u2019t rapidly wear out a weapon. This is an important feature when troops may have to make do with the same firearm for a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tablepress-40-name\" class=\"tablepress-table-name tablepress-table-name-id-40\">45 ACP Specs<\/h2>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-40\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-40\" aria-labelledby=\"tablepress-40-name\">\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Parent <\/strong>case<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">N\/A<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Case type<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Rimless, straight<br \/>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Bullet diameter<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0.451\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Neck diameter<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0.473\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Base diameter<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0.476 \"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Rim diameter<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0.480\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Rim thickness<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0.049\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Case length<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0.898\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Overall length<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1.275\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Case capacity<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">26.7 gr H2O<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Maximum pressure (SAAMI)<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">21,000 psi<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/index.php\/cName\/pistol-ammo-45-acp\">45 ACP ammo<\/a> is still commonly equipped with a 230 grain bullet, although lighter bullets are available in factory loaded rounds.

It is larger, and thus reduces magazine capacity and complicates mass transport. Its heavyweight bullet is less capable of penetrating armor. It\u2019s also a little more expensive, if only because more metal must go into its production. But at the end of the day, the 45 ACP\u2019s military mythos coupled with its undeniable utility for self-defense will keep it alive and well for centuries to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other Attributes<\/span><\/i><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5990\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/45-cal-ammo.jpg\" alt=\"45 ACP ammo at a shooting range\" width=\"1200\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/45-cal-ammo.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/45-cal-ammo-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/45-cal-ammo-1024x532.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re by no means limited to the 1911 if you want to carry a handgun chambered for 45 ACP.
