The M1911 & .45 ACP Bullet: 1 Of The Most Iconic & Enduring Combinations In The World Of Firearms

They forgot that the .45ACP was originally designed by Browning to use a 200gr bullet; it was changed to 230gr at the Army’s request (as this was the weight of the bullets used in their previous .45 Colt revolvers; usually firing .45 Schofield ammunition).

This, there are so many people why try to argue against the Schofield ammunition being used in the Colt, until they actually look it up.
 
And most people don't know that Nazi Germany also used the 1911, the Norwegian licensed copy of it that is.
Funny that two Browning designs were used by both sides, and one is pretty nearly unknown
 
Also fun fact, although the Colt 1911 (aka Colt .45) was one of the most widely used, during WWII, the US Government commissioned many different firearm companies to make the 1911 because of the number of demands, couldn't be met by just a few companies.
My Springfield 1911 Mil-Spec is still my pride and joy of my budding pistol collection.

More Browning designs than just the GP35 and M1911/1914 (the Norske “Kongsberg Kolt”) were used by both sides…

A number of his Colt & Browning .32 and .380 (and probably even a few .25) pistols were carried as both personal weapons, and by OSS operatives behind lines.
