9mm Luger
.40 S&W
The .40 S&W caliber came from the world of FBI firearms testing and development. After several agents were killed or wounded in a 1986 shootout, the Bureau determined to replace standard issue revolvers with semi-automatic pistols. Agent John Hall played a key role in these tests and the end result, after many changes and collaborations, was the introduction of the .40 S&W in 1990. This round is also known as the .40 cal, .40 Smith, .40 Auto or 10X22mm. This is a very popular round with law enforcement and the caliber fills a nice niche between the 9mm and the .45 ACP. The round was an instant success upon introduction in 1990.
.45 ACP
Also known as the .45 Auto, there is hardly a more iconic firearm caliber than the .45. The ‘GI .45’ became an icon during WWII. From the beaches of far-flung islands in the Pacific to Normandy to the bastions of Nazi Germany, the .45 military issue led the way as a personal sidearm. This caliber has been the gold standard for stopping power for generations. Any personal defense handgun will invariably be compared to it, either favorably or not, in terms of takedown ability. This caliber, developed by John Browning in 1905 for use in his prototype firearm that would soon become the M1911, is the epitome of classic American firearms. Gen. John T. Thompson of Army Ordnance insisted on a real ‘man-stopper’ pistol. He received such a weapon from John Browning in the .45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP).
