A 45 ACP flings a 230gr bullet wich is almost twice the original 9mm (123gr) and it's max. pressure is a measly 19kpsi compared to the 9mm at 34kpsi.

4" is not "good" it is enough for the intended use wich is wounding.

The 45 ACP was desiged to kill cattle and is "overkill". A vounded takes a lot of effort a dead can wait for tomorrow.

I'm not sure what this mis-information and opinion has to do with anything about a luger, but for sure the .45 acp was NOT designed to kill "cattle", nor is it over kill-
