The U.S. Army .45-caliber pistol was developed to meet the need for a weapon with enough striking power to stop fanatical charges of lawless Moro tribesmen in hand-to-hand fighting."
The .45 ACP remains one of the top handgun cartridges for stopping power.
Basically they needed a larger caliber handgun in order to stop the determined charges of the warriors in the Mororebellion which was in the Philippines.
