Yep,that's me.We don't look for things to complain about,we are only trying to educate you less than knowledgeable youngsters who think they know everything but it is evident they don't .

The 45 colt was the semi handgun produced by Colt in the Model 1911 , then 1911A, not the cartridge. The 45 in a revolver was not as common in the late 1800's. However, it was labeled a 45,not 45 long Colt when it did appear on the scene. When the 1911 came out, the cartridge was labeled the 45 ACP, not 45 Colt. Usually the 44-40 was more common as it was used in revolver and rifle. Today's 45 chambered rifles used in cowboy matches are a new thing.
