In this video we show just how far a 45 ACP is capable of retaining enough energy to cause a possible fatal would. We were only able to connect at long range with the 230gr Federal American Eagle FMJ loads on the pine board. We did fire a very limited number of the 230gr Federal HST loading at our Clear Ballistics Torso with no success. We will revisit the subject of expansion and penetration at range in a future video. Stay tuned.

I'm a Nam Vet, 45acp is my all time fav and to see this video abolished the old school thought of 30ft max out the window..HOLY CRAP..440 yrds even with the carbine threw me back in my chair. 2oo yrds with the cz90, WOW. Now I would never throw lead at someone at more than 5 or 6 yrds let alone try at 100 yrds. I'm totally in awe of the duties that round showed. Thanks so much for giving this old Vet a new perspective of the value of the 45acp 230 gr ball..I love mine more now than ever. Now I start giving the range 50 to 100 yrds distance a workout.
Bart Robinson thank u for yr service!
SIC SKS Sure does. You saw it blow holes in that plywood. Or maybe you didn't watch the video?
Happy Veteran's Day. Thank you sir. My Father was also in 'Nam. He was a Bronze Star with 'V' Device recipient as a Green Beret. And I only recently found out why. My wife's father, coincidentally, was a aslo a Green Beret in the '80's and '90's. I'm still a young guy and I love the .45 acp 1911. Got a Ruger SR1911 for Christmas and it shoots flawlessly.
Barton Robinson I said the exact same thing the 45 ACP is more sufficient then most calipers at close range is it would do a lot of damage and at long distances it does even more damage you cannot disrespect the 45 ACP Brown absolutely agree with your comment
9mm must be deadly as the military just bought a fleet of 9mm sig p320. I own 9mm .40 .45 and 10mm , I shoot 9mm nato in mine and it dies the job for target. I shoot hornady critical duty for carry I would not want to be hit with that 9mm it will kill you dead no ?
But my favorite round is 10mm that thing will literally knock you on your ass it's a real bear
Thanks for proving my faith in the old .45ACP! I too am a Vietnam Vet, and I carried a .45 for most of my Police Career, from the time I could afford to furnish my own weapon, giving up the Model 19 Smith in .357 Mag was a pleasure, and of course my scores at the range increased due to the decrease in recoil, the single action only smoooooth trigger on my M1911A1. Being a patrolman back in the early 70's and living on the $400.00 per month, I could not afford the top of the line firearm, so I purchased an Interarms Silver Cup, which was just surplus parts built up on a cheap frame by Interarms. She made a pretty good firearm out of the box, but I added a nice over-travel adjustable sculpted trigger and some very nice rubber wrap around grips because carrying a firearm in the frozen Dakota's winter can be a problem when the temps drop below zero. I sold the old warhorse to my brother-in-law about 30 years ago, he sold it about 5 years back for a thousand bucks, so I guess the old gun held her value. I had polished her up and re-blued her back when I was working with a gunsmith in the early 90's, so she looked great. Today I still carry a modified M1911A1, still the cheapscape, I opted for the Citadel General Officer model clone, she shoots pretty well but I am sure she looses some velocity with the shortened barrel. I have over the years carried off duty a Star PD, which I really liked, so when I saw the little Citadel on a table at a gun show I could not pass it up.
I'm an Old Vet from Nam 68-69 2/2 Mech. BRO....
All I can say is WOW !!!
Great Work !!!👍
IV8888: "Is a handgun practical to shoot at 200yd? Prob not"
Jerry: "Let's pop this ballon at 1000yd with my S&W revolver"
@Raymond Lopez Jerry miculek was using a Smith and wesson 929 chambered in 9x19 and with a 6.5 inch barrel. For sights he used a simple red dot.
It may not be practical but it sure is fun. If you adust your front sight so it is higher than the rear you can adjust for elevation while still seeing your target. I have a video explaining this
Lol Jerry Miculek popped a balloon at 1000 yards holding a double action snub nose .38 upside down pulling the trigger with his pinky.
@@austincollier14That shot ruined giant, passenger-carrying rigid airships for ever. Do you know where he actually hit the Hindenburg and what ammo he was using?
i suppose if IV8888 had a sponsor with unlimited guns and ammo and time to train ....
WOW! Subbed. Hitting a human-sized target with a .45 ACP handgun at 200 yards is damned impressive!
Sub to hickok45, that old dude can kill it.
@@joenitro9024 already subbed to him. Badass shot with a .45 :) Edit: He makes it look EZ. I carry a 1911 but I wish I could shoot like that!
Pease continue this series with more calibers. It is always very interesting.
Steven Crow i agree
I agree with this.
One of the best series along with the vs ones
john doe maybe work out the drop and post an auxiliary bulls eye to give a better perspective. that would also make hits easier, as aiming at a target is a lot easier than aiming at the same point (repeatedly) in thin air.
Steven Crow I'd love to see more as well!
"Sling a bowling ball." I love it.
That's why the old 45 acp and the old 1911 are my favorites. Cool video thanks
Mine too!!! I own a Springfield Armory A1 Mil Spec.45 1911 & a Ruger SR1911 .45 and absolutely love both pistols!!!
That was fascinating. I had never even attempted a 200 yard shot with a 1911-esque pistol. After watching this, I grabbed a completely unmodified colt WWII vintage 1911 from my gun room and went down to my rifle range. I set up at 200 yards and did what you did, put a steel silhouette behind the target for some audible feedback.
I was very surprised at the outcome...after about 8 magazines, I finally got in the groove. I was able to hit center mass on a standard police target, 8 out of 8 times! My grouping was erratic, but just the fact that there WAS grouping was rather astonishing. I expected 45 ball to behave unpredictably at that distance, but it was actually very controllable. I think with practice a guy could get reasonably good at extreme distance pistol shooting.
I had a great time playing with the idea, anyway! Thanks for the great video. Keep em coming!
Cap
.45 acp has always been my gold standard.
For my very first sidearm carry, I'm carrying a Sig Sauer C3 .45 ACP 1911.
I know it's not a colt classic, but shooting it at the range was hella fun. And punched MASSIVE holes in my target at very short distance. I was using Winchester .45 ACP 230gr FMJ ammo for it.
I especially love the safeties on it. Single-action, grip safety, and standard safety switch.
And the reloading, it is so easy to load in the mags. Mags just pop right out.
I also love these little stuff on this gun with green glow in the dark white dot sights, and it came with a crimson trace laser grip too.
It was the only .45 1911 in stock at the store, but it blew my expectations out of the water.
I'm now getting a holster and mag holders for conceal carry.
@@USAFreewayROTF nothing wrong with a sig. As long as it dont have 320 wrote nowhere on it
That's because you have a small male sexual organ so you feel a .45 caliber will compensate, totally understandable I'm the same way
handgun, 100yds, no rest: hats off to you
It's easier than you might think, I used to do it with a 357 and have done it with a Ruger mark 2 and a few others. most hand guns will shoot fair bit better than folks would imagine.
Lol that's a standard 100m silhouette match in Australia for pistol
@@JG10rBull nice
With practice ,and using the sights properly anyone can get 100 yard hits. With my Desert Eagle 44 mag I can Stretch it a bit.
With practice so it's pretty easy. I used to do a lot of long range shooting when I was stationed in South Idaho. But I started carrying a 4 inch 357 I used to practice at a hundred yards double-action my best group was about 4 in at a hundred yards. Pistols will shoot quite accurately at extended ranges. Elmer Keith proved that. He took down a moose at 600 yards with a 44 pistol.
When I shoot at DISTANCE... I leave the front sight in PROPER, then just DROP the rear sight till you are on .
Makes sense
I'm glad u showed me this test..I've always wondered what a 45 would do....thank u
I was very impressed with myself hitting a target about that size at 130yds, handheld, with my 1911.
Then you went and did it upside-down at 200. Way to go, man!
Great deal guys. This gives people an idea of how deadly these projectiles are and to be sure of your back stop. Ball ammo is deadly stuff.
Strange, I had a nightmare about a shootout in a crowded Walmart store last night my M1911A1 was doing it's thing, and not a single Walmart shopper dropped, just the bad guys.
@@JerryEricsson Sounds like you gave the shoppers to much leed.
I like my 9mm for concealment and my 45 for home defense. Both are good rounds.
Blasphemy! How dare you not fanboy and pick sides
I don't disagree, but I'm curious as to why you wouldn't carry the 45 for both, is your 45 one of those models that are hard to find a holster for or something?
@@l-makthedestroyer7142 I personally do the same, 9mm compacts are great for carry, capacity, and followup shots. but my steel framed baby eagle (Jerico 941) is comfortable enough to shoot and I don't have to carry that brick if its in the night stand. Fun fact: .45 is not nearly as nasty on the ears inside as 9mm or 5.56. Not fun fact: having been inside a building when a .45acp and previously a 5.56 discharged.
Well I don't know about the loudness of the 45acp but I was target practice with my 357 magnum snub noise forget to put my headphones on and shot it one time didn't hear nothing but ringing for about an hour.
@@tommywieringo6640 did the same dispatching a squirrel with my SP101 in .357. not fun
Let's take cover behind this 1/2" pine board, we'll be safe here.
Is this Hollywood?
Id say more like 6 pine 2x4 to stop a fmj ball 9mm with 5 inch barrel @ 7 yard im not trying to fight against 45 behind wood as cover lol at that point might as well be shooting on the move
😂😂😂
It’s to resemble a person. Not cover dude. Use common sense
Lol 1/4"*
one of the best, practical and no BS videos. Will keep watching.
I own a couple of old 1911s and love them at the range with jacketed ammo. I had a "Tommy" for a while, it seemed to be accurate up to about 300 yards and you had to know the variables. I love your videos, they are really spot on and serve a purpose, very informative for the average shooter.
If a 45 acp projectile touches you before it touches the ground. You will sustain severe damage lol
That's true of most calibers.
Oh for sure. Even a .22LR will go through a 1/4” pine board from up to 500 yards away.
230 gr with some momentum at a couple hundred is still worse than a stone from a slingshot at close range.
@casey escobar wea det was?
@casey escobar My thoughts exactimummlyish
Love these videos!!!! So interesting the trajectory of different calibers and how they impact down range.... Keep it up!
Definitely an eye opener of a vid!!!! I carry a .45 M1911A1 Springfield full frame and seeing the power of the cartridge out to such ranges is surprising to say the least!!!!
It shouldn't, not when you witness what a stray pistol bullet does when it penetrates someones home. That happened to a friends of mine, and the bullet near hit her or her husband.
Mine gets 4" groups at 50, 9" groups at 100.
@@taraswertelecki3786 Well, that's what Hollow Points are for, right?
I shoot a Glock 21 and this was affirming to watch as well.
The trigger reset on that carbine sounds Jurassic.
Right!? it sounds like a plastic Nerf gun reloading or something, with that crappy made in China spring sound
Monika i didnt know you liked guns (ive seen you on quite a few anituber videos)
@@SerinaDeMadrigal what was the malfunction?
@@codyscherer6930
Failed to eject.
@@SerinaDeMadrigal Darnit good eye too. I caught that and posted just now and then saw your noticing it as well
Now you need to use Paul Harrell's "meat target".
("You be the judge") 😄
Death to Watermelons everywhere!
We're out on the Range please excuse the gunfire you hear in the background
Chaplain Dave Sparks don’t try this at home, I’m what you call a professional...
I'm only showing you how I'd do it
I like all calibers. I’ve carried .22lr, .25acp, .380acp as backups, & 9mm, .40cal, .45acp & .38spl/.357mag as primaries over the last 17+ years. I love them all. .45acp is a very pleasant cartridge to me, especially from a Colt Government Model.
Suscribed, thanks so much for this video. I was blown away at the effective range of .45 acp. Looks like I lost an argument with a buddy lol.
Thanks for the review. I'm a .45 ACP shooter and this information is great to know.
Another good video. I really enjoyed the way you give good straightforward facts with a little bit of history or information behind it but you do not battle on unnecessarily which makes for very pleasant watching thanks.
Great video. I've wondered what a .45acp was capable of and to what distances it could reach. Very impressive to say the least.
I assume the only time you would need to make a 200 yard pistol shot is if your rifle ran out of ammunition and your name is Jason Bourne or Arnold Schwarzenegger
+Joshua Lansell-Kenny ever hear of long range pistol sillehoute shooting? You use creedmore position...
+Joshua Lansell-Kenny true, but I also have a .45acp carbine in my prep kit. Nice to know it is effective on game to 200 yds with workable 2-3 ft drop.
+mike parker I usually get a lot of flack for this, but my prep kit gun is a modified Rossi circuit judge. I carry a few boxes of 410 shot shells for small game, a few boxes of buffalo bore 45 LC for longer distances and big game (hot loaded 45 lc can be better at taking down predators than 44 mag) and the cylinder faceplate has had the raised surfaces milled so it will accept 45 ACP moon clips. The same gunsmith that milled it did a trigger job and turned it into one of the best double actions I have ever felt. Combine that with 45 ACP moon clips, and if worse came to worse I'd be able to put 5 rounds of 45 ACP on a threatening person just about as quickly as any semi auto.
+no no I have a TC Contender .45colt / .410 barrel with a screw-on choke. Ive shot clays with it a few times. The Judge sounds neat. The .45 colt in a strong action (like a Ruger) can be as powerful as a .44 mag handloaded.
Or John Wick
What I think is really cool are the clean holes even at 440 yards. They aren't just pushing through and tearing at that distance - they are popping the wood right out.
"Slinging bowling balls" (45acp) you made me laugh Eric ! Thank you!
While I'm impressed with your handgun skills, I want to share my recent experience at our local range. My son and I were playing with our ARs an a group of young soldiers were enjoying the range and shooting every cal. You can think of. The look on their faces when I pulled out my old Taurus 4in 44 mag and rang the 200 yard target with 44spl was priceless.
SAPR 400 (I m English) . my Father and I used to go clay pheasant shooting in the north Yorkshire Fine's using very old Winchester's with a big recoil, my friend.
I enjoy these tests, very informative.
WOW. That was the best expansion Ive ever seen out of a hollow point. beautiful expansion. Perfect really. Ill be picking up some HST.
In 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP they are very good; the .380 version needs more horsepower. (For any .380 carriers out there, my tests have shown the Underwood 102gr. +P and Buffalo Bore 95gr. +P to be good performers in that caliber.) Use in Glocks, Rugers, Springfield Armorys and other high-quality pistols, not the potmetal and cheaper European stuff.
How good is that magic bullet that missed the target??
The HST expands like that in 9mm, 40S&W, and 45 ACP, with or without the four layers of denim. Seems to work well even in short barrels.
@@charlesmoore6584 Re' 380, I tell people who want to carry one to pick either expansion or penetration. It doesn't have enough power for both. 9mm, that's a horse of a different color.
@@828enigma6 Those two loads had a pretty good balance, but there really isn't that much horsepower there. I usually tell people that just about anybody can handle a 9mm.
I appreciate the way you said "In more capable hands".
Yeah. Didn't seem to be a lot of ego with this guy. Just a matter of fact demeanor that I appreciate.
Very nice vídeo! Gave me some answers I was looking for even about other stuff rather just .45 ACP! Congrats from Brazil!
Great Video . Thank you for answering several questions I had over the years . Well done ,as always . I would really like to see the same tests on the 40 caliber .
For what reason its between the 9mm and the 45 so same results
For long distance with a pistol try keeping the front sight on the target and lower the rear of the pistol. That way you still see the target and hopefully you also see where the round hits to make adjustments.
Mares holter.
or keep both eyes open, only way i can shoot. like to try your way, just to see what happens. thanks for the idea.
really
@@TheGpono I commented to Hickok that his long range handgun shots were baloney - no question his son John was putting in the gong sound effects in post production. (;-) He replied that his 92 year old mother in law sat behind the gong and hit it with a hammer when she heard a gunshot. Great sense of humor.
Makes you really think about how far the round is going to go and the damage it could cause if it hits unintended target!
Think to hard and youll be using a knife
One of the top 5 things you're taught about firearm safety. Be aware of what's behind your target. Those basics are taught for a reason.
Great job, It surpassed all my expectations. I am a .45 ACP guy and now this is that much more reason for me to stay with that cartridge.
Same here. I love my 45ACP. I have the Sig Sauer Mauser M2 45ACP. Lots of people complain about it having quirks, and since they only made it for what 4 years, replacement parts and all are damn near impossible to come by unless you offer a kidney and a leg. But that pistol is my favorite, even over my Springfield XD 45. However, a buddy of mine has the XD .40 and I’m starting to get a tad interested in that. Really awesome shooter.
@@ChrisJ-mf7cj You gotta try the 45 Shield M&P 2.0 (Smith&Wesson) if you're a 45 guy, everyone who owns one loves it, no quirks whatsoever, I've never had the slightest hiccup with mine
ghost walk I’ll look for a box and run them and see. Right now I’m loving the Critical Defense rounds. Holy shit they are a hot load and fast. Taught my wife and my 11 year old niece to shoot my 45, and they are smoking it with those Critical Defense. Not a single miss over 50 rounds at about 25 yards.
@@ChrisJ-mf7cj It's a firearm, the Smith & Wesson 45 Shield M&P 2.0 semi automatic pistol, the confusion was probably my fault as I told you to "try it", as if you could pick one up at the store for a couple bucks, lol, my bad. I meant look into it, or ask to fire a few rounds out of one if you come across someone at the range who has one, if you love 45s you won't regret it. I just think it's a beautiful piece, very accurate, very manageable recoil, very reliable
ghost walk Man the confusion was all on me. I’ve been on an ammo hunt with some buddies lately and my mind gets stuck sometimes. I’ll definitely look for one to give a try. I’m kinda hooked on the Springfield Arms XD models. I am in the market for a new pistol so I’ll try the S&W out before I buy my new one. I certainly in love with a 45 even though I’m kinda looking at a 10mm. Thanks for the heads up
Dude, you're a tough shot! At 200 yds I use my rifle....respect! :)
Hans Wurst right?? That's a hell of a shot haha
Hans Wurst Jerry Miculek has made a shot on a 5x2 foot steel target at 1000m with a 1x times red dot and a 9mm revolver. A smith 929 I believe. If you wanna talk about a good shot. He did it on the second try.
Chris Albrecht wow!!!
its called fun and doing what you want
+Chris Albrecht Yeah I've seen that video. Very impressive shot. I think he said he was aiming something like 40 yards above the target. Definitely lobbed it in like artillery.
SUPERLATIVE VIDEO WITH SURPRISING RESULTS RE: MY FAVORITE, 45 ACP. THANK YOU SIR.
Always awesome videos,with great info. This is why I rock with u guys. Right on✊🏽
Love this series...really explains the power of pistol calibers...and viability of a cerbine
Super. I own a custom 45acp from Ed Brown . And I love it!
great video.
I absolutely love these videos it gives me a new found respect and appreciation for pistol caliber rds the videos are very informative and interesting and I would like to see more of them !!! Also a video on shotgun slug distances would be fun and interesting!!! Lobbing some really huge lead at a whole lot longer distance than normal and to see it done in 12 ,20 and 410
Great insight on the federal 230 grain 45ACP cartridge. Cool video glad l found it. Now l have confirmation on how powerful the rounds are.
I love the .45 ACP, the 9mm is good too, but the .45 is my favorite.
@KeriSan San It is but way more expensive!
@KeriSan San I prefer 9mm for self defense, unless its against bears lol.
the heaviest caliber we get in scotland is out d*&ks,cheers commie government.......pricks.
A 9MM HAS NOTHING ON A 45 NOTHING
@@jamesmitchell3496 actually a 9mm Carrie's the same or more energy as a 45 auto. Not to mention velocity:)
Very informative, I liked your video! More 45 talk, I love the 45acp!
Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it!!
2015 and I’m just now finding this. Oh well, I’ve been subscribed for almost 2 years now. Thank you for these vids. Especially like this one that I’ll call realistic or personal.
That was awesome I had no idea it was that effective at that distance and I love the 45 my Kimber eclipse target 2
If you're shooting extreme ranges with a pistol rather than cover the target with your 7 yard hold you need to touch the bottom of the black with your foresight and drop the rear of the pistol, adjusting the angle of the "ramp" till you're on. I've done a lot of long range pistol and open sights rifle shooting and this is a method which always worked for me. Nice ideas for testing power of various calibres, thank you!
Impressed of that Vid ,well done!Tank you for your work!
Great shooting!!! Awesome and informative. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for adding the warning on backdrops! It pays to stay private property and heed sign warnings.
Nice video guys!
ArtisanTony dont you do lawnmower blade machetes? i may be mistaken....
Fantastic video. First time here & had to subscribed. Great content.
Great video, one of the most interesting shooting videos I have ever seen, connecting at 200 yards with handgun and going through board, alot more distance and energy from an 830ft per second cartridge then I would have expected. Great job
Another genius who doesn't know the difference between then and than.
How dare you make a .45 ACP video and not even use a 1911
EDIT: It is now 3 years since I have written this comment and I now realized I never clarified this was a joke
christopher dean i think your right about that,i want to see that to !
christopher dean because in today standards, the 1911 IS NOT the best 45acp handgun!
Say it ain't so, Joe; say it ain't so (sob)!
Depends on your definition of best. As far as trigger, and accuracy is concerned there is not much that can top a tight tolerance 1911 single action trigger mated to a 5" barrel. Best carry gun? No, but this not about carry guns.
a CZ with its lower bore may of been the reason for the choice. also i like seeing CZ getting some love
Damn! 200 yards holding a hand gun upside down! That was amazing!
Very informative!Thanks for the tip.
Very enlightening. Good job.
Great video, it's been years since you made it and I just found it but still a great video! Very educational! It's very informative also! I didn't never thought 45 would penetrate at 200 yards! Hope you do some more of these! Wouldn't mind seeing the Thompson 45 at 200 yards! Anyhow excellent videos this is why I follow you! Keep producing these. I would hope that your spotter would tell you low and to the left so that you could compensate. Cuz so many of your shots were low and to the left when they missed and when they connected. But great video! Thank you
Excellent video and God Bless!
Thank you for the Video. Very informative. I’ve carried the
.45 acp OTJ. I’m impressed.
So, if you ever get a 200 yard shot and two dozen attempts to hit the target, you're good to go, eh?
Or, you might be in deep shit if the target is shooting back.
Yep, impressive.
Love these videos...great shooting as well brother !!!!
Colonel Colt has been a good friend
of mine for 25 years now, and has saved

🤣👍, yea but I still love me some 45 ACP ♥️🇺🇸😎
LOL - pretty impressive for a "cannonball" though
Yes but for being so big and heavy and slow that's amazing power a 45 has. But any bullet going towards it's Target is lethal. I was shot in the foot with a bbgun I couldn't imagine being shot with a real bullet!
Ironbomb I carry a Colt 1911 in 45 acp everyday 👍🏻👍🏻
Great vid 👍🏻
This video was fun too watch. Thank you
Hitting that board at 200 yards with a pistol is pretty impressive
Upside down too
It is my favorite round for almost everything especially home defense and CC.
Nice job on the video. I learned a few things!
Awesome video, thank you so much!
At 13.01 in the background you will hear a Leslie RS5T. For those of you who only are into guns that’s an old train horn ,not many left. If you guys listen maybe you will find another interest,train horns. That shooting is awsome as is the horns in the back what more could I ask for?
Thank you Jesus ! 100 years for success .Saved my dads butt at Omaha . They were drowning dropped in too deep of water .. lost their backups so they didn't drown .Cut the Mae west balloons . they were targeting them . Only reason he lived is he made it over the side ..

Very enlightening informative video. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to see this as I pick up my new 1911 45APC next week. Yea!!!
Wait....hitting a target with a .45 ACP Handgun at100 & 200 yards?! I carried a .45 in IRAQ because many times I saw the bad guys keep coming when hit with 1,2, or 3 9mm rounds. But I only pulled my .45 pistol for CQC inside buildings when my M4 was to restricted. Most of the time my target was 40 feet or less away from me. Damn fine shooting
iraq51. Good choice! I understand that some of our SPECIAL FORCES still use, and prefer .45 Cal over 9mm.
Jared Flores 45 ACP can kill a bear and boars . It is one of the few pistols round you can use to kill large game. If it can do that it will drop a bad guy
@@zack9912000 You jerk! Why would you promote the killing of innocent BOATS???
LOL!
Steven Hoffman apparently my Apple phone thinks boars means boats
The difference is NOT in power, as many/most 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP loads are quite comparable in ft-lbs. The biggest factor is in bullet profile. The 9mm is very sleek and pointed in shape, while the .45 ACP is blunt and rounded. If one were to compare the three, we might see the .40 S&W to be the superior " manstopper" of the three, as all FMJ ammo in that caliber has flat meplats without exception (more "smack" to the target). Why are they all flat-nosed? Because with SAAMI specs for AOL with the prescribed bullet weights they had to be shortened to fit the 9mm platform pistols, grip frames and magazines by, more or less, chopping the noses off of the bullets. Flat meplats make for very effective rounds for hunting dangerous game with non-expanding bullets.
Now we know.
That's really impressive. 3/4 plywood and a 2x4 (1 1/2" assuming it was the flat side) ... at 440 yds. Heavy bullets do a lot of damage even slow ones like the .45.
Larry Gall. SLOW? Watch the old Myth Busters when they test "slow" rounds, for penetration in water, compared to "fast" ones, which exploded.
Don’t believe they’ve found anyone who can outrun it.
That big old slow round penetrates, but doesn't over do it. All the energy is transferred to the target. That's why we should have stayed with it. A deliberately paced double tap gets it done. My Taurus 24/7 goes where I go.
@@kevinbendall9119 I don't know for sure, but years ago, when we still had the M1911A1 as standard army issue, there were plenty of support Soldiers who could not hit the broad side of a barn in broad daylight with the old gun. Now it was not the gun, but the lack of training and experience. I grew up on a farm with a father who loved guns, so I could shoot a .38 when I was ten, and regularly practiced with dad's old .303 British rifle when ever I could afford the reloads. So when I got in the Army firearms training was a joy for me, but many of my fellow trainees were scared to death of the "KICK" of an M-16 before our first range exercise. It was there that a DI took an M-16 with a full mag, on rock and roll, put it on his balls and pulled the trigger to make us believe that there was no kick. My brother-in-law talked me out of the first .45 I purchased. At his funeral I was talking to his son, who said they sold the old gun. Just as well, he said, you couldn't hit nothing with it! Well I told him I had regularly qualified with it for years on the police range. "Well," he said" you couldn't hip beer bottles with it for shit!" I had to explain there was a big difference between hitting beer bottles and men at 7 feet to 7 yards.
@@kevinbendall9119 exactly the way I make love to a woman ! So .45acp is a ROMANTIC cartridge.
Thanks for upping it with the 3/4” board.
That was flat out cool thanks you two
Thanks for the video, loved it. Also blows those 45 naysayers out of the water.
I carry Federal 230gr HST .45 ammo in my Glock 21 and Glock 30. Great ammo.
Love these types of videos!
Great pine board test! Around 1998/99 I bought a Marlin Ranch Carbine that chambered.45 acp. It was very accurate up to 200yards. I should have never traded that one. It was a real great shooter
If someone told me they could hit that board at 200 yards freehand with a pistol I would laugh and walk away.....then Hickock45 and Iraqveteran8888 show me how much a shitty shot I am.
@brian mounts And your talking about a totally different round aren't you fanboy.

Thank you. I now have an even GREATER respect for firearms in general as well as my 1911 .45 ACP.
Love my 1911 .45 ACP. Comfortable to carry concealed, hits like a truck, I can't complain.
Awesome 👍 work guys. Keep'em coming
Amazingly great video!
John Moses Browning!
Pretty cool nice video!
This video is the shit! Good job💯
I would have thought the bullet drop would have gotten so excessive at 400 that it wouldn't reach but you disproved that one quickly. Great test of the range capability of a 45 acp!
Very good sensible information from this test!
Can we discuss the fact that this guy can kill you with a handgun at 200y?? Holy s***!
I can do this aswell but realized there is not many people that can turns heads at the local range when I pull out my glock 19 at the 200 yard range
440 yrds with that round is impressive. I didn't know if it would still have the energy needed to punch through.
I run all 9’s or .45’s daily but every spell or so I
throw in the .40 just for the f*** of it. So much debate and many arguments regarding consistent follow up shots versus outright power and what’s better. You rock Brother and Prior Service leads the way on the home front!
Very nice vlog! Very informative!
