Overview of 45 ACP Ammo

The .45 ACP, developed by John Moses Browning in 1905, is a cornerstone of American ammunition known for its power and reliability. It offers excellent stopping power and accuracy, making it ideal for personal protection, law enforcement, and competitive shooting. Originally designed to meet the U.S. Cavalry's need for a more effective round, it became the official sidearm of the U.S. Armed Forces in 1911 with the M1911 pistol. Favored by units like the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team and LAPD SWAT, the .45 ACP's versatility and effectiveness continue to make it a trusted choice over a century later.

    I have used Barnes bullets as a reload as well as factory since they came out onto the market. They are very accurate while maintaining their entire mass throughout the wound channel. If you are betting your life on a bullet make it a Barnes TAC-XPD 185 Gr. Confidence and excellent terminal stats.
