Automatic Colt Pistol Refers To

ACP stands for “automatic Colt pistol.” ACP is a cartridge developed by John Browning. He used it in his prototype semi-automatic pistols and rifles as well as the M1911 pistol. Unlike most other cartridges, which are rimmed, the ACP has a rebated rim.

ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol, which is the term that was used to describe a type of pistol cartridge. ACP ammo has been around since 1901 and it became widely popular because it was easy and cheap to manufacture. Today, you will find many guns chambered in ACP ammo including 1911 handguns.

ACP stands for “Automatic Colt Pistol” which is a cartridge that was developed in the early 1900s. It was designed to replace the black powder ammunition used by revolvers of this time period. This cartridge has been updated over the years and can now be used in any semi-automatic pistol, but it’s most commonly seen in handguns made by Colt or Smith & Wesson.

The round typically fires a bullet between 30 and 40 calibers long, but in some cases it can be up to 50. ACP cartridges are also more powerful than other pistol rounds such as the .38 Special or the .357 Magnum because of its higher velocity when fired from full-auto firearms. It’s considered an intermediate cartridge by many gun enthusiasts (although you’ll find others who would disagree), meaning that it is not suited for self defense purposes nor hunting game animals at close range.

The most common type of ammunition used with this caliber is jacketed hollow point bullets which have less recoil and make clean holes through their target without leaving any lead residue behind.
