The result is one of the world's more effective combat pistol cartridges, one that combines very good accuracy and [[stopping power]] for use against human targets. The cartridge also has relatively low muzzle blast and flash, as well as moderate [[recoil]]. The .45ACP also operates at a relatively low maximum chamber pressure rating of 21,000 psi (145 MPa) (compared to 35,000 psi/240 MPa for 9mmP and .40S&W, 37,500 psi/260 MPa for 10mmAuto, 40,000 psi/280 MPa for .357SIG), which helps extend service life of weapons it is fired in. | The result is one of the world's more effective combat pistol cartridges, one that combines very good accuracy and [[stopping power]] for use against human targets.
