…that since there are no ".45 Short Colts" around today, or for more than 60 years, for that matter, and since SAAMI has no specification for any ".45 Long Colt," there is no requirement for any such nomenclature. Not to be a language pedant, but .45 Colt 'll do jus' fine.

Fascinating research here, however.
