Mr. Uncle Buck: Please don't think I'm a troll, but I do follow your posts, and you are extremely knowledgeable and I've learned a lot from you. Matter of fact I consider you an experet, which is why I was puzzled when you referred to the .45 colt as the .45 LONG colt. That implies that there was a .45 SHORT colt. I don't think there was one. (And no, the .45 schofield/S&W was not a short colt. It was a cartridge in its own right.)
