This abbreviation stands for \u201cAutomatic Colt Pistol,\u201d and designates cartridges used in a specific, and rather historic, type of firearm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Whether you are a seasoned firearms expert or just learning the basics, knowing the background of the term \u201cACP\u201d is not only interesting, it will make you a more informed buyer of \u00e5firearms and ammunition.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\">What Is ACP Ammo?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">As we noted, the term \u201cACP\u201d comes from \u201cAutomatic Colt Pistol.\u201d It was a designation created to mark the engineering of John Moses Browning. Known as one of the most influential weapons designers of all time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Cartridges with the \u201cACP\u201d designation are straight-wall cartridges that are all used in self-loading pistols. By definition, an ACP round is not used in revolvers or rifles, but are exclusively used in pistols.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><b>The ABCs of ACP<\/b><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\">The first letter, \u201cA,\u201d stand for \u201cautomatic.\u201d This notes that the rounds are made for \u201cautomatic\u201d pistols. Although under today\u2019s definitions they are technically semi-automatic weapons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The second letter, \u201cC,\u201d is for Colt. At the time, Browning was working for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colt.com\/\">Colt Manufacturing Company<\/a>. Adding the company name to the cartridge was, and still is, a common practice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Finally, the \u201cP\u201d notes that the rounds are made for pistols. Not revolvers, not rifles, but pistols. This may seem redundant since \u201cautomatic\u201d is already included, but that\u2019s the logic behind the naming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/john-moses-browning\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>For more on the history of ACP cartridges and their creator, John Browning, see our history article here. <\/i><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\">A Brief Look At \u201cACP\u201d Cartridges<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_8439\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8439\" class=\"wp-image-8439 size-large\" title=\"hornady brand 380 acp ammo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9083-Web-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"a photo of hornady brand 380 acp ammo\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9083-Web-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9083-Web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9083-Web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9083-Web-790x527.jpg 790w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9083-Web.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8439\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The acronym &#8220;ACP&#8221; stands for &#8220;Automatic Colt Pistol.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<h5 class=\"p1\"><b>.32 ACP<\/b><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Released: 1899<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Bullet Diameter: .3125 inches<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Case Length: .680 inches<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Bullet Weights: 60 to 75 grains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">The earliest cartridge that eventually took the ACP name was this well-balanced round. Although it was released at the end of the 19th century, it becomes one of the most influential rounds in the 20th century.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Designed by Browning, it was originally manufactured by Fabrique Nationale, a Belgian company. This cartridge if often considered a European round. Often associated with James Bond, German police, and, historically, the suicide of Adolf Hitler. However, it has found use as a conceal-carry round and plinking cartridge in the United States.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p1\"><b>.38 ACP<\/b><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Released: 1900<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Bullet Diameter: .356 inches<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Case Length: 0.9 inches<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Bullet Weights: Roughly 115 to 130<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">The .38 (not to be mistaken with the .380 ACP) was paired with the innovative M1900. This pistol was the first to use the short-recoil operation, now commonly called self-loading. While the operating system of the firearm was game-changing, the cartridge itself was underwhelming. It never gained large popularity. It was largely phased out by the .38 Super, which is essentially a high-pressure version of the .38 ACP.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Today, the .38 ACP is rare. You can find .38 Super rounds, but .38 ACPs have largely been left untouched by manufacturers due to little demand.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p1\"><b>.25 ACP<\/b><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Released: 1905<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Bullet Diameter: .251 inches<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Case Length: .615 inches<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Bullet Weights: 30 to 50 grains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Thin and light, the .25 ACP is a versatile round that was originally created to compete with the .22 Long Rifle, replicating the .22\u2019s performance when fired from a two-inch barrel. Because of the cartridge\u2019s small dimensions, it could be loaded into some of the most compact weapons ever made. However, it was weakly powered and is generally considered a poor performer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Although sales were light, the .25 ACP was tried in numerous firearms. A few military organizations tried small machine guns with this cartridge. Somewhat ironically, there were even a few revolvers released that were chambered for this cartridge.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p1\"><b>.380 ACP<\/b><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Released: 1908<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Bullet Diameter: .355 inches<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Case Length: .680 inches<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Bullet Weights: Usually 80 to 120 grains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Not to be confused with the .38 ACP (\u201cthirty-eight\u201d), the .380 ACP (\u201cthree eighty\u201d) has been a popular self-defense round ever since its release. It has a slightly smaller profile than the .38, yet maintains consistent power and performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">There is a concern, however, that the .380 ACP is inadequate for defense purposes. While others tout its ability to be loaded into compact weapons. It\u2019s often considered the lightest acceptable round for self-defense.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p1\"><b>.45 ACP<\/b><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Released: 1905<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Bullet Diameter: .452 inches<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Case Length: .898 inches<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Bullet Weights: 100 to 230 grains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">John Browning is known for creating the M1911, which chambered the .45 ACP. This handgun is now seen in numerous \u201c1911-style\u201d handguns, which are effective weapons to this day. A large reason that this gun was so popular, and has become replicated by virtually all manufacturers, is because of the .45 ACP.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The .45 ACP is one of the few \u201cACP\u201d cartridges created specifically for military purposes. After recognizing a need for greater performance from their ammunition, the U.S. military commissioned a series of tests and trials, allowing various manufacturers to offer their designs. After a long process, the .45 ACP, along with the M1911, was chosen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">To this day, the .45 ACP remains one of the most popular pistol cartridges in America. Used by tactical forces, military personnel, and sports shooters, this ACP round can deliver power and ballistic performance to the target in almost any setting.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><b>\u201cAuto\u201d Or \u201cColt\u201d Does Not Automatically Mean \u201cACP\u201d<\/b><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_8441\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8441\" class=\"wp-image-8441 size-large\" title=\"45 auto ammunition \" src=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9116-Web-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"a photo of 45 auto ammunition \" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9116-Web-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9116-Web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9116-Web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9116-Web-790x527.jpg 790w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9116-Web.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8441\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Look closely! Cartridge names can be confusing because of similar terminologies.<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Cartridges often go by multiple names. The .45 ACP, for example, is also known as the \u201c.45 Auto,\u201d and is sometimes just called the \u201cforty-five.\u201d Many rounds, in fact, are called \u201cauto\u201d and most of the ACP rounds can be found under this terminology. Some manufacturers don\u2019t list the \u201c.380 ACP,\u201d but instead list it under .380 Auto.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>(Cartridge naming is tricky; at times it seems like the manufacturers are intentionally trying to confuse people.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, the presence of the word \u201cauto\u201d does not mean that the round is necessarily an \u201cAutomatic Colt Pistol\u201d round. For example, the 10mm Automatic, or \u201c10mm Auto,\u201d is not a round that falls under the \u201cACP\u201d designation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Likewise, not all \u201cColt\u201d rounds are ACP either. The .45 Colt was, as the name notes, created by Colt\u2019s Manufacturing Company. But it\u2019s for revolvers and lever-action rifles. Not for pistols. It is, therefore, not an ACP.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\">ACP Ammo For Sale<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/handgun\/45-acp-ammo\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8444 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9053-Web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9053-Web.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9053-Web-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9053-Web-768x320.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wideners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC9053-Web-790x329.jpg 790w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Whether you are purchasing ACP ammo or need shotgun shells, we have the right cartridges for your specific needs.
