Nothings more powerful than a man and his 1911 45 Aye See Pee pistol PERIOD! Most powerful cartridge in the world the 45 ACP stands for Forty Five American Cannon Power! Developed by the late great mystical gun wizard John Moses Browning for the Marine Corps to stop the onslaught of drugged up native cannibals because the 38 S&W just bounced off them. One look at the mighty forty five drove off the savages in panic to retreat back and pray for forgiveness. To this day they still pray to the all mighty 1911 pistol! Found this old Shooting Outdoors video that explains the great power of the 45 and how all other cartridges especially any un-American thing that ends in MM are pathetic pee shooters.

I liked the 9mm bullets bouncing off the tin can! Great video. It would have been perfect on April 1.

*breathes a sigh of relief* I was afraid this was going to be about that overpriced 7.62x25 Tokarev Pistol that everyone keeps running videos on, proclaiming it as the bestest thing ever...

On-topic: I really wish that Chris Baker would go back to shooting Shooting Outdoors with Manny Mannsfield, they were far more entertaining than the "serious" videos he currently does, and seeing as he seems incapable of using clickbait anyway, might as well make it part of an amusing joke, or at least as cover for expressing an over-the-top opinion.

Anyway, if you guys like this one, check out the on Pocket Pistols.

I think it was the 38 Long Colt that was a bouncing off the drugged up natives.

I like 45's. I know they will work. I like my RIA 1911, and my Ruger American in 45ACP. But I also like my 9mm's. Especially my 6906, but now also my 365XL. I look for pistols with accuracy. Center is center.

Sgt. York liked the .45 a lot and the germans he shot with it disliked the .45 in equal manner !

That was hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

In a 2016 article in the American Rifleman his son Andrew said he had a .32 ACP CZ Model 24 that he occasionally carried for self protection. Larry

Is this sarcasm or is there a new production pistol in the Tokarev cartridge?

In reality the 9mm has come a long long way over the past 15 years. When most used 9mm FMJ ammo years back, the 45acp 230 FMJ Hardball blew the 9 out of the water IMHO.

Now that there has been so much technological advancement, the 9 is a great and viable round. That said, the 45 acp is still a terrific option however there is no comparison of the size, weight and concealability of the modern micro 9 pistols vs the weight and bulk of the 45's.
