Nomenclature and language have never been exacting over time, even among the most anal-retentive "experts". Seems to me that we ALL understand what someone is talking about when we hear "45 Long Colt". But "Colt 45" and "45 Colt" have definite ambiguity, as some see the ACP round as a "45 Colt", and they are correct. Yes, there have been a few "short" versions of the 45 caliber handgun round, even if they are not now known as "45 Short Colt".
Seems that a bunch of old codgers just like to look for things to complain about, and the weather is pleasant enough at the moment.
