The .45 ACP is one of the most popular self-defense handgun cartridges in the United States today. Made popular with the adaptation of the Model 1911 semi-automatic pistol, this classic combination served as the standard issue handgun for the U.S. Armed Forces for 75 years and saw action in theaters of war around the globe from World War I through Vietnam. The .45 ACP has a relatively low muzzle velocity when compared to other popular handgun cartridges such as the 9mm, however, it’s utilization of a heavy weight range of projectiles allow the .45 ACP to have a manageable recoil while still generating high energy on target and a high power factor which makes this a very popular choice for Major division pistol competitors.
