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.

  • Robert-23 said:

    The base of this ammo is just a hair bigger than other .45 ACP ammo. This makes it hard to load in some Sig mags (particularly newer 8-10- round mags). There is a notch just below the top bullet on these mags that catch Wolf rounds and make it hard to load the magazine and then cause the next round up to fail to rise to the top. Have not had this problem on older or 1911 Mags.

    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.

  • 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

    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.
