Ready for a dose of US History?

John Browning designed the .45 Automatic Colt Pistol cartridge in 1905 specifically for use in a semi-automatic pistol, namely another one of his popular inventions: the Colt M1911. The adoption of this firearm/ammo for the US Army during World War I is credited to another John; John T. Thompson. Thompson loved the .45 ACP and envisioned using it in an “Auto Rifle”. Both the M1911 and the Thompson submachine gun were adopted by American troops during World War II, which makes the .45 ACP one of the most storied ammunition cartridges of the early 1900s in America.
