Portrayal Press is now printing a selection of these images in a revised edition of Laemlein’s “American Firepower” series, beginning with The .45 Caliber M1911 Automatic Pistol.

Glock’s .45 GAP-cal. Model 37 pistol may not be what the company intended, but there’s always a place for a pistol that is accurate, reliable and powerful.

Invented in 1905 by prolific firearms designer John Moses Browning, the .45 ACP was the standard caliber of the Colt M1911 pistol, and remains so to this day.
