I always enjoy these .45 Colt discussions. Could it be termed Colt's .45?

There are two 45 Colts... one is a single action and the other a semi-auto. The semi-auto reins for most of the world as the 45 Colt 1911 in naming conventions. Argue all you want, people will just ignore you. I suspect rather that the 1911 round "reigns" supreme as simply the .45 or Colt .45 and not .45 Colt, in most places.

Here, this will clear up any confusion...
How about the Colt 11.48x35mmR ?

I've no dogs in this hunt. No 45's here of any kind. So I'll just say, who wouldn't mind the nickname "Long" ? Just consider it a nickname and let it go.

I ask for the ammo marked on the gun. Even if its really a .429 mag I ask for 44mag. I would not buy a gun marked long colt as I have never seen any ammo in my town with that name. We do at times get 45colt and 45acp

Guns and Colt 45 don't mix. Paul It's just a photo, Paul. No one was drinking and shooting if that was your concern. Just for jest: Colt 45, .45 Colt.....the word play is just too easy and irresistible.

Guns and Colt 45 don't mix. Paul really?!?!, i thought this was a gun forum and i'm pretty sure whitworth isn't lowbrow enough to even drink 45 colt anyway. last time we shot together we had a hard time grouping bc the amount of high grade tequila we drank. only shot two observers but we were using hardcast bullets so they were ok. dammit i just offended someone else with no sense of humor. crap, i just said dammit. oh well, guess some of you will just have to walk out of the mobile home masquerading as a church, put away the coral snakes and cottonmouths and just lighten the f^ck up.

For goodness sake guys, take a chill pill. I know Max was kidding -- I was trying to be funny -- must not have worked.
