Lotta folks get hung up on the caliber that Thompson and LaGarde recommend, overlooking the fact that they also emphasize the importance of marksmanship, even suggesting to revise the pistol training target to better drill soldiers in hitting vital areas. They knew there was no replacement for shot placement.

A .22lr to the head or heart or a major artery will put you down much faster than a .45 to the lung or gut or... This is also why full auto was phased out for the average rifleman soldier after Vietnam, during which they found the average was something like 200 rounds fired per kill. Shot placement is key, but it's one thing on the range and another thing in actual combat when the pressure is on, adrenaline is flowing and people are trying to kill you. Big rounds were, I think, meant to sort of equalize that difference.

If memory serves during the "single shot to muscle tissue" portion of the slaughterhouse evaluation the .32 ACP dropped the cow faster than any other round. After they did the post mortem they realized they'd unintentionally severed a vein and it had bled out as a result. So shot placement is the king.

@@J.DeLaPoer Yeah, shot placement is key above all else, but the reality of combat is you won't have perfect shot placement. That's because the average soldier isn't Robocop and can nail a small target like a CNS hit every time at all ranges under time pressure. Therefore, a larger round that can do more tissue damage means your shot placement can be more off and still do more damage, whether it's having a greater chance of nicking something important should your aim be off, or creating bigger holes in the target for faster bleed out and organ shut down.

My paternal grandfather carried a S&W Model 1917 as an officer in a machine gun company during The Great War in 1918 due to a shortage of M1911s. The shortage was the result of the massive expansion of the Army when we figured out it wasn't going to be "just another European war." My grandfather was a gas casualty and evacuated back to the US. He was invalided out of the service in late 1920/1. He was a county agricultural agent until he sickened with tuberculosis & died in 1928. My younger daughter has his officer's saber, and my older brother has the big S&W revolver. My father carried it during WW II as a USAAF bomber pilot.

It’s interesting that while the 1911 seems “obviously” the best design to many people, who see the design emerging in on piece from JMB’s brain, nothing could be further from the truth. The road to the finished design was full of fits, starts, halts, and head-scratchings.
@gameragodzilla
@gameragodzilla Жыл бұрын
That is an overall good thing, since no design is usually perfect out of the box and being able to radically change the design based on feedback is what helped it become such a great gun. Meanwhile you look at the C93 Borschart where the designer just said "Nope, gun's perfect, I'm not changing shit" and it only truly became successful once Georg Luger came along and turned it into the Luger. And even that didn't have the staying power the 1911 did.

That was concerning the .38 Long you discussed. "When a Moro collected a 250 grain .45 Colt slug in the chest he usually lost interest in all things earthly, then and there." That addressed the .45 Colt.

Also I have had an obscene amount of "fudds" get excited knowing a young'in daily carrying a 1911, only to have their faces contort out of shear hatred and disgust when I tell them its a double stack while they are angrily saying the time tested phrase, "YOU DON'T NEED MORE THAN 7 ROUNDS KID!" .....like.....okay, only I know for a fact the mag that is in your daily carry 1911 is a 8 round Chip McCormick mag and you have 3 10 round Wilson Combat extended mags because you were so excited to buy them from this exact shop when I was working here XD

My custom built 1911 was off a Para Ordnance frame. I love this thing. Got some 15+1 magazines for it and some Taylor Freelance extensions which add an additional 3 rounds. So I have a 15+1 flush fit for normal carry and 18+1 extended for reloads if need be, all in .45ACP. Definitely a lot of firepower there. I've haven't seen many Fudds complain about my gun, probably because outside of the double stack frame it keeps everything else good about the 1911. Does make the grip pretty thick, though, so I can understand complaints from people used to shooting strictly single stack 1911s. Doubling the capacity of .45ACP doesn't come with no downsides. But since I like shooting my Desert Eagle, that's not a problem for me. lol

Scientifically speaking, terminal effect is measured by the interaction of two different things: 1) Velocity at Impact 2) Cross Sectional Area of the Projectile It's no surprise a larger diameter bullet, who is also heavier, would show good marks on a terminal effects test. The increase in diameter is already meeting one parameter, while the retention in velocity of a heavier bullet would meet the other. Of course modern bullets with their jacketed projectiles and expansion capabilities meet the requirements to attain desired terminal effects, but back in the day the large diameter pistol bullet did gain the edge in performance for a short time. I don't think it's a question anymore of which is better, but for a few decades there the .45 (and other types) was a clear winner in terminal performance.

I was fortunate and worked at a store that handled the sale of a collection of 45 automatics which contained a couple of the 1905s one with the shoulder stock holster and round hammer, the other had the spur hammer. The collection was a great educational opportunity as it also contained all the rare 1911s, Reminton/UMC, Union Switch & Signal, Singer and North American Arms as well as foreign contracts, 455 RFC, and the Russian British, I cannot remember all the details as this was in the late 1970s. It would be wonderful if you could get a Savage 45 and a reproduction 45 Luger and do your own trials comparison. I think Ian has had all 3 but I don't think he got to shoot the Savage.

@Courier-Six 2 жыл бұрын
@@xt6wagon i would have to disagree with ya on the influence on the recoil if only because it happens toward the end of operation when most of the recoil and muzzleflip would have taken effect. I think the increased recoil is from a number of factors. The weight of the pistol being a full half pound lighter than the 1911, the operating system being designed to handle a lighter projectile, and the angle of the grip being more shallow. All those would combine to really amplify the .45 ACPs recoil. Granted, the lower locking lugs may contribute but i think overall it is more the ergonomics and design of the pistol itself that lead to how fierce this pistols recoil is.

In some alternate universe, there is a US gov’t that still uses .45 but kept chasing the “muh stomping powah” train. They eventually wound up with the 45 win mag.

..Thompson pronounced his middle name as 'Tolliver'...I often think of the character in Kipling's short story "The Man Who Would be King", Peachy Taliafero Carnehan (along with his companion, Daniel Dravot)...I wonder if Kipling pronounced his character's name in the same way...

You have earned your sleep with this one. Fun to watch (to ease up this cruel testing with your props was nicely done), great in detail and I understand now why we go C&Rsenal-style till a particular hand gun. Thank you for the effort. Testing the 1905 and sticking with this beast of a cartrige, you need as ordanance board and as manufacturer some real determination to make this work. I`m looking forward to get there with you. By the way, in my personal experience, I didn`t like any .45 ACP in any modern hand gun. It made me flinch, and it took some time to put the next shot on target, and every 9mm with the same weight was much easier to shoot and is always the prefered choice as I`m not willing to pretend I would like to handle that much recoil.
