The effectiveness of the .45 round versus the contemporary handgun and rifle rounds is also problematic. It seems the only really effective round was a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with buckshot.
Google Jan Libourel and Moros.

I'm aware of that. These soldiers could only wished they had the 1911 45 ACP.
As to this thread, I wouldn't mind the Ruger 9mm 1911.
I just wouldn't ever let it replace the 45 ACP 1911. I just like larger calibers. Always have, and far too long to change my ways.
