History 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.

  • garmartin said:

    Works very good, no problems with Glock 21 & 30.

  • 4 Inch Grouping at 1000 yds said:

    Super fast for a 45 round. Better groupings at rapid fire pace. Center mass and done.

  • Frank said:

    I have tried all brands of ammo but when I bought my first case from ammo.com of Estate ammo which is one of my favorites, I was so pleased with the price and delivery I'll be back, and so will my friends

  • Gary D said:

    The 185 grain cycled thru both my Glocks and Para-Ordnance 1911 LDA without any problems. The .40SW feed thru my Beretta Strorm Carbines and both were very accuate and fairly clean burining.

  • rruybal1 said:

    This round will stop anyone in his tracks. If after seeing the Hi-Point 45 ACP handgun they choose to advance on me, they won't get very far.

  • Jack said:

    This ammo is awesome! Great quality. And the price is on target.

  • Tyler said:

    The ammo shoots perfectly out of my picky 1911. I had zero malfunctions out of 500 rounds shot. Fiocchi ammo gave me an average of one malfunction / 50 rounds shot. My only gripes are that the bullets look a little dirty, which of course had no issue with performance. And mostly the only thing I didn't like was that the tray the bullets come in is made out of Styrofoam so it leaves little foam bits all over the counter at the range.... All in all I would buy again.

  • Ed said:

    1 particular 1911 it’s flawless where other brands of ammo it’ll stovepipe..However it’s good in all my 1911s..

  • ElHalcon said:

    Ammo acted and performed as I knew it would since I have used it before

  • eeffoc said:

    My recent purchase from ammo.com met my expectations I enjoyed shooting it, and have no problems with the price. I will shop ammo.com again

  • SIW said:

    I've sent a quite a few hundred down range with my 1911, and my SA XDM 3.8. Not one issue.

  • Harry said:

    So far only fired 100 rounds. Had one stovepipe in first 50, and two stovepipes in second 50. The pistol is 50 years old and in near-perfect condition. I normally do not get more than 1 hung case in 500 or more rounds, much of it Blazer Brass purchased locally. As I get more experience with this lot of Blazer Brass, I'll try to update my opinion.

  • Ammodude4u2 said:

    A pleasant surprise for quality in value provided and accuracy. Performed well in 3 different firearms ( 2 pistols, 1 carbine style rifle) . Had previous excellent experience with various loads of .22 caliber offerings from this manufacturer.

  • DJLKEYS said:

    Atrocious performance in three different .45s: FNX-45, Glock 21, and 1911. Underpowered because it kept causing failure to eject and failure to load issues. Swapped this garbage out of the magazines with federal and all three were running smoothly. Avoid this brand

  • Daddy d said:

    Okay, first I will just say I ordered one thousand rounds after doing multiple different tests on this round. I found it to expand over .85" with the biggest one expanding just over an inch. Out of all the premium rounds and the generic rounds on the market for non-bonded hollow points in 45, this had the best performance every....single...time. Not to mention it has light recoil. I found its recoil to be on par with steel cased wolf or tulammo. It fed smooth in my glocks, 1911s and even in my tommy gun. I say buy it. Get it and thank ammo.com for this terrific product. I sure do

  • Sr. said:

    AA++ Thank You for the fast service.

  • Robert said:

    The price and availability are only issues right now. Good ammo.

  • Practice said:

    Shot 14 rounds so far to verify cycling. No issues. Will consider this for a carry round. Market is hard and expensive right now.

    EXCELLENT AMMO FOR THE PRICE. WILL BUY AGAIN.

  • Dett Hubb said:

    Very pleased and would order again

  • Mike said:

    This is great ammo for Self Defense, this will get the job done. Using solid guns like Kimber in 45 & 10mm, I was able to achieve a level of accuracy at 25 yards with this ammo that I haven't been able to do since my Army days. Firing many 3 round groups at 25 yards, All shots could fit inside the circumference of a Quarter, actually the shots on the target touched and overlapped each other, nice mushrooms, 0 malfunctions and seeing some expand to over an inch, I decided to change over and make this my first "go to" ammo. Thank you Ammo.com

    This ammo is smoking hot. Really fast. My groupings were better than with standard 230 gr. ammo. Gets the job done.

    Tryed the penetration test...the rounds mushroomed perfectly! They are very accurate also! These are going to be used for self defense!

    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.

    The bullet design seems like a good concept, the ballistic gel tests that I've seen regarding the Honey Badger design were impressive. The concern: The very first round I tried to feed into my Dan Wesson 1911 jammed solid on the feed ramp. Subsequent tries had the same result and the cartridge suffered ~1mm of bullet setback. That particular cartridge didn't appear any different than the others. I cycled other rounds from the same box several times without issue or bullet setback. Maybe the first round I tried was defective. The next time I go to the range I'll try them out.
