A semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP, manufactured from 2011 onwards, featuring a double-stack magazine, represents a specific category of firearm. This configuration allows for a higher cartridge capacity compared to single-stack magazines, often preferred for self-defense or competitive shooting due to the increased firepower.
The .45 ACP cartridge has a long history of military and law enforcement use, known for its stopping power. Combining this potent cartridge with a high-capacity magazine in a modern firearm platform offers a compelling package for those prioritizing effective self-defense. The increased ammunition capacity reduces the need for frequent reloading, a critical advantage in high-stress situations. Advancements in firearm technology since 2011 have also likely contributed to improvements in accuracy, reliability, and ergonomics in models fitting this description.
