THE M45A1 IS AN IMPROVEMENT OVER THE M1911A1, BUT IT COULD BE BETTER

 The CT1911A2 One Option To The M45A1

HE ADOPTION OF THE M45A1 BY THE U.S. MARINE CORPS A FEW YEARS AGOHERALDED THE RETURN OF THE VEN ERABLE M1911 TO MILITARY SERVICE AFTER A 20YEAR HIATUS. EVER SINCE THEN, OPINIONS HAVE ABOUNDED AS TO WHETHER IT WAS A GOOD IDEA AND WHETHER THE M45A1 TRULY THE RAISON D’ETRE OF THE M1911 SERIES.

The answer to the first question is easy: Yes, it was a good idea. Since the 1985 adoption of the M9 as a replacement for the old M1911A1, the controversy has swirled virtually non-stop. First, there was the issue of 9mm versus the .45 ACP. Particularly with the FMJ (ball) ammunition, it has long been known that the 9mm Para is a deficient manstopper – a multitude of wars and “police actions” proved that. Thus, U.S. military personnel made no secret of the fact that they didn’t trust the 9mm and preferred the .45 ACP.
