How does the good old .45 ACP 1911s go?

Not on paper, bearlike penetration and "knockdown"?




At contact distance, I had 6 or 7 (of 8) hot-loaded 45 acp rounds go through the body of a roughly 300# black bear. No complaints about the performance of the round, or the bullets, but cleaning the pistol was an absolute PITA.




Thanks. Cleaning the handgun or one's pants!

Thanks for relating the experience.

The 1911 .45 ACP sounds like old reliable. Able to flatten a Moro tribesman. Or a bear at close range. One needs to be able to handle is power and recoil. And the seven round magazine is a negative. But even in Australia I read prior to banning in 2003 was the most popular handgun. I almost bought one or two once upon a time ... Alas no handgun licence at the time.

I still want one! Must find a legal way.




45 ACP's are a ton of fun.. got on a kick a few years back and bought several.. lots of fun and certainly have a punch to them on the receiving end compared to a 9mm..

Personally I like the 10mm more..
