Automatic Colt Pistol The Model 1911 pistol was developed for the Army. Most bullets (cartridges) had a large base for use in the cylinder of a revolver. The Colt pistol was automatic and used a clip so the cartridge did not have a base that was wider than the bullet. This bullet was specially designed for this gun. It became known as the .45 ACP so it would not be confused with other bullets.

Can you explain different handgun sizes?
Assuming you mean caliber, the caliber simply refers to the diameter of the bullet the gun is designed to fire. American cartridge sizes are expressed as tenths or hundredths of an inch, and European cartridges sizes are expressed as millimeter. A .40 caliber gun fires a bullet that is .40 of an inch in diameter. A 9 millimeter gun fires a bullet that is 9 millimeters in diamter. There are too many variations to list here, but some common handgun calibers are 9 millimeter, 10 millimeter, .40 SW, .38 special, .44 magnum, .45 ACP, .380 ACP.

Why is a 45 gap comparable to a 45 acp and a 380 acp is not comparable to a 9mm?
The 45 GAP operates at slightly higher pressure than standard (non +p) 45 ACP ammunition and by this means is able to generate similar velocity and energy to the 45 ACP cartridge. The 380 Auto cartridge is not only smaller than 9mm Luger, it is also far lower pressure. The 380 Auto delivers far less velocity and energy and cannot handle as much bullet mass as the 9mm.
