Maybe someone can detail the History on this. I thought the 45 ACP round was developed before the 1911 pistol. Did Colt develop the 45 ACP ammunition? Or was that someone else? I guess I had thought the only part Colt played in the whole 1911 story was they got the license to manufacture the 1911 pistol after the military selected it.

I know these guys got a bit off topic - from a simple question to a history lesson - however .45 Glock - XD - you name it - is really a nice cal for stopping power without the extra velocity of the of the lower Cal's. I'm not saying a .45 won't blow threw these thin walls, however the larger round does more damage as a self defense weapon (imo) then say the same round in 9mm for self defence.

It's just my personal choice - .40 are nice and so are the 10mm. The original question was just about the writing on the box and round type. A little over kill on answers to the question.

Thanks

All I know is what I see ont he box guys - .45 Auto vs .45 ACP - basically the same round, right?

Auto Colt Pistol versus the Auto - is there a difference?
