Fascinating Failure: The .45 Winchester Magnum
Though it’s been about a century and a quarter since John Browning first graced us with the .45 ACP, it’s not tremendously difficult to see why it’s still with us. While some gravitate to the cartridge due to nostalgia or a connection with America’s military past, just as many people reco...
