Stupid fk Millennials... the 9mm was developed around 1896 and the ACP was developed around 1905...So the 9 is OLDER than the ACP.. The 9 is a Kraut caliber..for the Borchardt and Luger..it was deemed to be too weak for US Army use..
The weak azz 38 Colt didn't stop the hopped up Moro's in the Philiphines so the US Army needed something with some man stopping power..so enter the ACP. The first pistol chambered for it was the 1905 Colt auto..which led to the 1911..
