2. All the old AWB did was bring the 45ACP back from the dead.

Most shooters figured if they were gonna be limited to 10 round in the mag, those 10 should be 45's.

By the time the ban expired the 45 was back in vogue again.

And it's not slowed down since, only a few companies make "hi cap" 45's while the majority are still in the 8-12 range.

Long live the 45.
