For those interested in the .45 ACP, the Colt 1911 pistol, or just like firearms history, I have a couple items for you today. First up is an article from Ammo Land: "How the Colt M1911 Was Adopted by the U.S. Army." Because the development of the cartridge and the pistol are intertwined, the article discusses both the history leading up to the development of the .45 ACP, as well as the background of the developments and different pistols that finally resulting in the 1911.
If you have more time and would enjoy watching a video over reading, or just want a deeper dive, the second offering is the video below from the House of Browning YouTube channel entitled "45 ACP: An In-Depth Look at How We Got Here, and the Cavalry's love for the Lord's Caliber." With a title like that, it isn't hard to guess what would be the host's answer to the question, "What gun would Jesus use?"
