Ang simulain ng pistol na .45 M1911 ay nag-ugat sa Digmaang Filipino-Amerikano, na pumutok noong 1899.
Bago pa makalaban ng Amerikano ang mga Moro (1903 pataas), kinailangan na ang .45 laban sa mga Kristyanong sandatahanes at talibones [bolomen] ng Luzon at Kabisayaan (1899 pataas).
Kung magkagayon, and buong Kapilipinuhan ang siyang 'hilot' na nagsilang sa pinakatanyag na baril sa buong mundo.
Ang mga Pulahanes ("those adorned with red") ay mga grupo sa Kabisayaan na lumaban sa mga Kastila at mga Amerikano noong panahon ng Rebolusyon ng Pilipinas at Digmaang Pilipino-Amerikano.
