Easily one of the most iconic pistol calibers in the world with more than a century of faithful use, .45 ACP has been a go-to choice for shooters looking for a proven, heavy-hitting round. Not only does the MkG™ RESOLUTE® come chambered in this renowned caliber, but it also makes use of commonly found and trusted Glock-pattern .45 ACP magazines, and spurred the invention of our legendary Radial Delayed Blowback™ operating system years ago.
When full-size rifles are too cumbersome and pistols/SBRs don’t deliver the long-range ballistic performance you need, the CMMG RESOLUTE line of carbine length rifles is the answer. Fitted with the suite of ZEROED parts and accessories as well as our legendary RIPSTOCK, the RESOLUTE is the rifle that’s never out of place. The new EML™ 15 handguard brings style to the next level. M-LOK® attachment slots are found where expected at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions as well as on top at 12 o’clock with the omission of a full-length Picatinny section found on our previous handguard. This reduces weight while the additional M-LOK section still gives shooters a place to mount those must-have accessories. With a range of choices, just pick the caliber you need for the job and let your rifle do the talking.

The 45 ACP (45 Auto) was designed by John Browning in 1905 for his prototype semiautomatic pistol that eventually became the legendary Colt 1911, using a .452-inch bullet. Browning proposed a 200-grain bullet; U.S. Army Ordnance, smarting from reports of poor performance of the 38 Long Colt in the Philippines, increased bullet weight to 230 grains for greater stopping power...and the 45 ACP as it is today was adopted in 1911. It remains an iconic and popular handgun cartridge for personal defense and competition, and was used by the U.S. military in submachine guns (Thompson and M3) through the 1970s. Although largely replaced by the 9mm for military use and the 9mm and/or 40 S&W in the law enforcement community, the 45 ACP is still used by the U.S. military and numerous law enforcement agencies in various applications. The standard load remains a 230-grain bullet at 780 to 850 fps, but lighter, faster bullets from 165 to 200 grain, delivering a bit less recoil, are also available. — Craig Boddington
