No way, the .45acp is not going anywhere. If anything it is making a big comeback. In the past year Ruger added 3 .45acp pistols to their lineup, the SR1911, SR1911 commander, and the SR45, and I'm sure soon to come SR45C.

is that really true about the marines readopting it?

Yup it's true, although not every Marine will be carrying a 1911, at least not yet. Unfortunately the shipment they got had alot of problems with I believe cracked frames, they opted for aluminum vs steel frames. So with the way things are going, they might not continue with the Colt 1911's, only time will tell.
