Best Answer

With familiarity and training, the effective range for a .45 handgun could be 75 yards, or greater for a man-sized target.

Typically, pistol shooting ranges have targets set at 5, 7, 10, 14 and 25 yards.

Which is a bigger handgun a 40 caliber or a 45 caliber?

Either platform can be larger than the other. The 45 has the larger projectile. Caliber is defined as the diameter in fractions of an inch, so .40 caliber is smaller in diameter than .45 caliber. Caliber can also be defined in the metric system, measured in milimeters. The .40 caliber cartridge is equivalent to 10mm in diameter. As noted, the size of a handgun can vary widely within one caliber, so it is perfectly reasonable to have a smaller handgun crafted in a larger caliber.

When was the 45 handgun made?

Which .45 handgun are you referring to? The .45 Colt revolver (Peacemaker) goes back to about 1873. The traditional "45 Auto" was adopted by the US Military in 1911, but there were other, earlier .45 caliber automatics. And of course, .45 caliber black powder ball and cap pistols, ball and cap revolvers, etc are MUCH earlier than the Peacemaker. So... which handgun?
