From Rock Island’s 1911 trials to World War II’s beaches, jungles, and ship corridors, John Browning’s .45-caliber automatic became the most issued U.S. sidearm of the war—and a century-long standard. This documentary traces why: the 6,000-round no-fail trial, the Philippines lesson that .38s weren’t enough, mass production by Colt, Ithaca, Union Switch & Signal, Singer, and Remington Rand, and the .45 ACP’s decisive performance from Tarawa to the Ardennes. Discover how a so-called “outdated” design outlasted trends, shaped tactics at arm’s length, and forged an enduring symbol of reliability.
