Excellent content. If you're looking for Dean Grennell's original write up on the creation of the .45 Super then this is what you are looking for.

Dean A. Grennell (God rest his soul) was one of the great gun writers of the latter half century. But, with all due respect to his memory, this particular book of his did me a tremendous disservice when I first read it back in 1990 at the tender age of 15, as he waaaayyyyy overstated the alleged difficulty and discomfort of shooting an M1911 .45 ACP autopistol.

And I find the Tommy Gun tremendous fun to shoot and the Marlin Camp Carbine in the same caliber to be miserable and overrated, the exact 180 of Dean’s assessment of these the guns.

Nonetheless, you can still learn a lot about the history of the .45 ACP from this book. I darn sure did.

Grennell was an old-time writer, a man who was re-building M1911 .45's and making them more than the sum of their parts, long before the world assumed a box-stock Kimber was a "custom 45." For those interested in uncommon custom tricks that time has lost, as we now have a pretty much "standard" list of .45 tricks, Grennell is well worth reading. Together with Ace Hindman, he developed the powerhouse .45 Super cartridge, and Super aficanados will find the history fascinating. Written in a warm, yet not anecdotal style, it's info-packed yet easy to read.
