Wolf .45 ACP Ammo

Wolf .45 ACP Ammo is one of the two most popular ammunition cartridges for full-size semiautomatic pistols. A .45 caliber bullet is a big round, and it has excellent knockdown or stopping power. There are a few cons regarding ACP ammunition.

Most 45 ACP ammo definition comes in polymer-coated steel cases produced in the most popular rifle and pistol calibers (see Calibers Offered By Wolf Ammo below). But Wolf Ammo is well known for offering quality products at competitively low prices.

So, in 1905, they asked Colt to enlarge the .41 caliber round that they had already been working with Browning to develop, resulting in the earliest version of the wolf 45 ACP ammo cartridge. At the same time, Colt also increased the caliber of the pistol that they had been working on to go with the .41 caliber round. Buy Ruger 57 Pistol Semi-Automatic Pistol online.

More than a century later, wolf 45 ACP ammo is one of the most popular defensive rounds among military, law enforcement, and civilians. Today, the .45 ACP is still the go-to round for 1911s, but many other guns are also available for .45 ACP.

The .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) or .45 Auto (11.43×23mm)[1] is a rimless straight-walled handgun cartridge designed by John Moses Browning in 1904, for use in his prototype Colt semi-automatic pistol. After successful military trials, it was adopted as the standard chambering for Colt’s M1911 pistol.[2] The round was developed due to a lack of stopping power experienced[3] in the Moro Rebellion in places like Sulu. The issued ammunition, .38 Long Colt had proved inadequate, motivating the search for a better cartridge. This experience and the Thompson–LaGarde Tests of 1904 led the Army and the Cavalry to decide that a minimum of .45 caliber was required in a new handgun.

The standard issue military .45 ACP round has a 230-grain (14.9 g) bullet that travels at approximately 830 feet per second (250 m/s) when fired from a government-issue M1911A1 pistol. It operates at a relatively low maximum chamber pressure rating of 21,000 psi (140 MPa), compared to 35,000 psi (240 MPa) for both 9mm Parabellum and .40 S&W, which due to a low bolt thrust helps extend the service lives of weapons. Since standard-pressure .45 ACP rounds are subsonic when fired from handguns and submachine guns, it is a useful caliber for suppressed weapons to eliminate the sonic boom.

    This ammo went through my Thompson with no problem. You sometimes wonder when you buy ammo at a low price if it is going to work well. It does and am ready to place an additional order.

    The ammo was reasonably priced (for our current time lol) and functioned great as training ammo. 4/5. It took an extra week to get to me for some reason …so 2/5
    My third order this month!!!!!!
    Maybe I should have placed all 3 orders at once in order to benefit from the free shipping and coupons!!

    Your Ammunition always shoots nice for me. My issue is the packaging. Id recommend you use sturdier boxes and or more taping on the edges. Possibly bubble paper around the perimeter on the inside. Fedex has always been rough and packages always arrive beat up. My 9mm bullets were allover the box. Packaging destroyed.
