Difference between 45 Long Colt and 45 ACP - 01/15/14 03:03 AM
Ok, so I've wondered about this for a while and I just don't know the answer. I just bought a S&W Governor which shoots the .410, 45LC and 45ACP.. I have tons of 45ACP ammo for my 1911... but I just don't what the difference between 45 Long Colt and 45 ACP is.. I know the 45LC came out first back in the 1870s.. but why does the 45 ACP have a slightly smaller cartridge rim ? Sorry if this is a dumb question ...
