Buying .45 ACP Handguns online

John Browning designed the .45 ACP for the 1911 pistol, and it still fires a large, heavy bullet at subsonic speed in most loads. Shooters choose it for its proven stopping power and the feel of a full-size 1911, though magazines hold fewer rounds than a 9mm of the same size.

.45 ACP Handguns FAQ

Is .45 ACP better than 9mm?

It fires a bigger, heavier bullet, while 9mm holds more rounds with less recoil and cheaper ammo. Both are effective with quality defensive ammunition; pick the one you shoot best.

Are all .45 ACP pistols 1911s?

No. Many modern striker-fired and double-action pistols are chambered in .45 ACP, alongside the classic single-action 1911.

Do handguns ship to my house?

No. Handguns ship to the licensed FFL dealer you choose at checkout. You complete ATF Form 4473 and a background check there, pay the dealer's transfer fee and take it home. You must be 21 or older.
