A: Thanks for reaching out Rob! Like other military firearms, the 1911A1 was designed to fire a very specific type of ammunition: 45 ACP 230gr FMJ, loaded to a muzzle velocity of 830 fps. Now, I'm not guaranteeing that this ammo won't function reliably in your handgun – it may in fact work well. It's really impossible to say without doing a test run. That said, I can only confidently promise you the best functionality with 45 ACP ammo that matches the M1911's preferred specs closest. Our Winchester USA ammo is pretty much spot-on for what you'd want for your handgun (and that's no coincidence!).
