Not much.
I don't have a .45 ACP carbine but I have been known to take my Uzi with the 10.5" barrel out to the local rifle match. I keep the irons zeroed at 100 yards and have flipped the aperture to the 200m setting when the targets were around that far away. I didn't hit them on the first shot but I could generally get my hits out at 220 yards or so.
The main problem is that pistol rounds are so inefficient ballistically that they drop like a stone. If you guy think .45-70 is a rainbow cartridge try 9mmP at 200 yards, much less .45 ACP.
