 | Along with the.45 ACP cartridge, it was designed by John Browning, and was the standard-issue handgun in the combat arm of the United States Armed Forces from 1911 to 1985. |
 | The weapon originated in response to problems encountered by American units fighting Moro insurgents during the Philippine-American War in which the then-standard.38 caliber (9.65 mm) revolver was found to be unsuitable for the rigors of jungle warfare, particularly in terms of stopping power. |
 | It was replaced, largely due to considerations of NATO commitments, with a 9 mm sidearm, the Beretta 92F/FS, on January 14, 1985. |
