| When I hear someone discussing a 45 ACP handgun my mind very quickly turns to the 1911. Because to me the 1911 defines what a 45 ACP handgun should be. Which guns define the most common calibers to you ? |
|
30-30––––Winchester 94 or Marlin 336
300 Savage––- Savage 99 270 Win––- Winchester Model 70 30-06––- M1903 or M1 Garand 45LC––- Colt Peacemaker 38spl––- S&W Model 10 357Mag––- Colt Python 7mm Rem Mag––- Remington 700 9mm––- Beretta 92, P.08 Luger 45ACP–– 1911 45-70––- Trapdoor Springfield or Sharpes 1874 .40S&W––- Glock |

These are just the first guns I think of...not necissarily the most common, the best, or the "quintessential" gun of that caliber.
.22 LR = 10/22 .25 ACP = FN "Vest Pocket" .32 ACP = Walther PP 7.62x25mm = Tokarev 9x18mm = Makarov .38 Special = Model 10 .44 Magnum = Model 29 9x19mm = BHP, Luger, CZ-75, 92FS, Glock 17 (any of those, really) .40 S&W = Glock 22 .45 ACP = 1911 10mm = Bren Ten 5.45x39mm = Russian/Bulgarian pattern AKS-74 .223/5.56 = AR-15 7.62x39mm = Type III AK .308/7.62 = FAL 7.62x54mmR = Mosin Nagant .30-06 = M1 Garand 8x57mm Mauser = K98k or clones (M24/47...) |

I'd add 12ga = 870 agree with the rest |

The .45 acp evokes the 1911 because for decades the 1911 was basically the platform for the cartridge.
Only a few cartridges that immediately bring a particular weapon (and only one to mind) Interestingly enough, they all started out as military cartridges. .45 acp - 1911 .45 Colt - Colt SAA .445 Webley - Webley Mk VI 30-40 - Krag 30-30 - Winchester Model 1894 .303 - Enfield 8mm Mauser - 98 Mauser (duh) .50 BMG - M2 Machine gun .30 Carbine - M1 Carbine 60 years ago, 9mm meant Luger. These days there are hundreds of designs that use the cartridge. |
