When was the 45 handgun made?
Which .45 handgun are you referring to? The .45 Colt revolver
(Peacemaker) goes back to about 1873. The traditional "45 Auto" was
adopted by the US Military in 1911, but there were other, earlier
.45 caliber automatics. And of course, .45 caliber black powder
ball and cap pistols, ball and cap revolvers, etc are MUCH earlier
than the Peacemaker. So... which handgun?
