A magnet for pendantry is what. People use it to demonstrate their superior knowlege or ability to yell louder than the other party. The paramont experts say there is no such thing as a .45 Long Colt- Since there is no pre-existing .45 short colt. Of course the words .45 Long Colt have appeared on cartridge boxes and there are short cartridges for the .45 Schofield and maybe even the colt.
As a practical matter though the words "45 Colt" and .45 Long Colt" refer to exactly the same cartridge.
