Looking for the very hard to find .45 HP caliber, not .45 ACP. If you have one or more please let me know.

What is 45 HP ??

Try Italy.

Hirtenberger .45 HP

The silly millimeter shorter .45 caliber auto-pistol cartridge

Hirtenberger Aktiengesellschaft advised on 13 May 2003 that the round is no longer in production.

The 45 HP round is shorter then the standard 45 ACP but loaded with a 230 Gr. bullet. I am guessing it was for countries that one cannot own a military firearm in. A bit too short for the 1911 or other autos but works fine in revolvers. Samco Global has some for sale right now. Made in Yugoslavia in the 1980's. Both ball and hollow point are available.

You could always trim .45 ACP cases and reload.

Sounds almost like a .45 GAP
