Genesis 18:28, “…And He said, ‘I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.'”

 

Revelation 19:11

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

 

It is my favorite caliber..............makes me feel closer to The Creator when I shoot it!

 

Makes who you shot wish he was closer, too!!

 

I really like shooting it in my 1911. It's just the right amount of recoil and a nice hit on my steel targets. It is godly.

 

Never heard 45 ACP referred to as god's caliber. Heard it called 45 AARP though

 

I've never heard it referenced as Gods caliber until my friend mentioned it ...

Agreed............old, fat and slow like some of us here.

 

I knew it was worth getting up this morning.

 

Look up The Gospel according to John Moses Browning.

 

is it possible that the saying references the fact that JMB, often referred to as god in the shooting world, created both the 1911 and the .45acp to go into it.
Genesis 1:1 says 'And JMB created the 1911 and saw that it was near perfect and said "Only needs the cartridge to go with it to be perfect", and the .45 acp was created."
This ends the reading for today.

 

Unlike some lesser calibers when you shoot someone with one they will go to meet their maker. I have never heard that expression but suspect it has something to do with it's wartime service. Probably save many soldiers bacon and they thanked god they had it.

 

I'm glad i'm not the only one who never heard of that expression ... I was feeling like I asked a stupid question ...

 

 

Having been raised Catholic, I know when to scream BINGO!

 

I never knew that either very interesting but since I've been coming back here I learn something everytime .

 

so now we have to ask is it the 45 round or the 1911 ?

 

Yes

Because John Moses Browning got some divine inspiration? Still the best-looking, most-fun semi to this 1911 owner.

 

Because the 45acp needs God's help to do what a 10mm does easily.

Everyone knows the Lord has a Colt SAA revolver strapped to his thigh. It's in scripture ...

"And they brought the Colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon it." —Mark 11:7

 

I suppose that I could see it as God’s caliber since if one is fired at you, it is an invitation to meet him face to face. I think that my .44 mag would send the same message more emphatically but, why split hairs.I suspect that Mike Bloomberg and other leftist would see it as the Godless caliber.

 

... I suspect that Mike Bloomberg and other leftist would see it as the Godless caliber.

That's a wobbler. Why would Godless atheists see anything as "Godless"? Bloomberg has no respect for God, or he would live differently.

 

John Browning developed the round in 1904 to use in his prototype Colt Semi Auto. In 1904 Teddy Roosevelt was President, the ice cream cone was developed and Cy Young pitching for the Boston Americans the predecessors to the Red Sox pitched the first perfect game in baseball history. What more proof does anyone need. 👍

 

I don't see the relevance here terry_p ...

 

Delivered unto mankind by a Prophet bearing the name of Moses.

 

On the first day he created the 45 acp.
On the second day he created the 30-06.
On the third day he went to the mountain and shot into the valley, all was good, he rested.

 

I think I may have found the definitive answer.

 

I have heard the term, but do not know where it originated.

 

Maybe it’s because John Browning sittith at the right hand of the father.

 

Saint John Moses Browning was a distant relative of mine.

 

JMB would have approved of these.

 

Because Jeff Cooper, one of God's Beloved Creatures, favored it.
