I own three pistols in .45 ACP and they are all 1911- pattern pistols, one being an original, actual Model of 1911 that was made for the First World War by Colt, another being a Colt Series 70 made in '78, and the third being an inexpensive Auto-Ordnance that roughly mimics 1943 1911A1 production, which I plan to have a gunsmith work over. I like .45 ACP as a round and I like the 1911 as a pistol type.
But I also firmly believe that usually, the best pistol round is the round the pistol was made to chamber, and with the 9mm choices we have today, the 9mm parabellum does not need to take a backseat to very much. I wouldn't like my Ruger MKIII in .45 very much, and I would not have my '88 P226 in anything but 9mm para. Wonderful pistol.
And so help me God I am resisting the urge to go and buy a 1970s Browning Hi Power this week.
