Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main advantage of the .45 ACP Luger over the 9mm Luger when shooting at a spinner target?

The .45 ACP Luger has a significant advantage due to its greater bullet mass and momentum. This increased force makes it easier to rotate the heavy steel plates of the spinner target compared to the lighter 9mm rounds.
