M45 Tactical

The was a modern and refurbished design of the century-old design of Holt's Firearms Incorporated known as the Holt 45. It featured a rifled barrel, new hammer and frame, with a picatinny rail for underbarrel devices such as flashlights. It was featured in modern-day operations such as Operation Sandstorm, Panamoan-Evalkan War and Black Pegasus.
==History==
===Background===
Meanwhile 2003, The MK9 Vendetta and the MK226's lack of sufficient armour penetration started the replacement program, due to wider introduction of protective gear, so the Armed Forces of the Panamoan Republic were conducting a suitable replacement or alternative. Rubicon Industries submitted the MK50 Hawk, a high Caliber Handgun, as well as the Compact 45 and the RIA-UCP. 
The MK50 has relatively controllable recoil, although it is much heavier and ammunition is rare for it. Due to this, the Panamoan Department of Defense simply chose the Holt 45 again as the standard. However, they willingly chose the UCP and Compact 45 as the suitable replacements. While the Hawk was more of an offensive and powerful approach.
Since the Holt 45's only customisation is a silencer, it fares poorly in modern battlefields, and will not catch up to Modern handgun designs. As a response, Holt's Firearms Incorporated modified the Holt 45, with a Railed 9090 Titanium Alloy Lower Receiver, not only provided extreme durability, but allows for mounting underbarrel devices. The Iron Sights are revised, with a clearer picture, and tritium lighted for use in night operations. The Slide has a modernized design. The Nevium Barrel has a Rifling twist of 6 Grooves, and 1:7 Inch Right Hand Twist. Significantly improving the weapon's muzzle velocity, Accuracy, precision and augmenting the gun's stopping power. It was renamed or re designated as the M45 Tactical. 2 Months later, the Amphibious Panamoan Marine Corps finally switched back to their legacy Sidearm, shared with the UCP and the Compact 45.
== Design==
Holt's basic Holt 45/M45 Tactical design has seen very little change throughout its production life. The basic principle of the pistol is recoil operation. As the expanding combustion gases force the bullet down the barrel, they give reverse momentum to the slide and barrel which are locked together during this portion of the firing cycle. After the bullet has left the barrel, the slide and the 9090 Titanium Alloy rifled barrel continue rearward a short distance.
At this point, a link pivots the rear of the barrel down, out of locking recesses in the slide, and the barrel is stopped by making contact with the lower barrel lugs against the frame's vertical impact surface. As the slide continues rearward, a claw extractor pulls the spent casing from the firing chamber and an ejector strikes the rear of the case, pivoting it out and away from the pistol through the ejection port. The slide stops and is then propelled forward by a spring to strip a fresh cartridge from the magazine and feed it into the firing chamber. At the forward end of its travel, the slide locks into the barrel and is ready to fire again. However, if the fired round was the last round in the magazine, the slide will lock in the rearward position, which notifies the shooter to reload by ejecting the empty magazine and inserting a loaded magazine, and facilitates (by being rearwards) reloading the chamber, which is accomplished by either pulling the slide back slightly and releasing, or by pushing down on the slide stop, which releases the slide to move forward under spring pressure, strip a fresh cartridge from the magazine and feed it into the firing chamber.
There are no fasteners of any type in the 45 design, excepting the grip screws. The main components of 45 are held in place by the force of the recoil spring. The pistol can be "field stripped" by partially retracting the slide, removing the slide stop, and subsequently removing the barrel bushing. Full disassembly (and subsequent reassembly) of the pistol to its component parts can be accomplished using several manually removed components as tools to complete the disassembly.
The M45 Tactical is the most efficient and modern variant of the Holt 45. Modifications include a revised iron sights, a 9090 Titanium Alloy Lower Receiver and Barrel, Where the Rifling twist consists of 7 Grooves and a 1:7 Inch Right Twist to further improve the accuracy, precision, penetration and stopping power. As a modern weapon, it has a picatinny rail underneath for attaching flashlights, lasers or knives.
