But, it's what's written on the cartridge that counts!

You've heard of Smith & Wesson, right, ****-for-brains?

That company has references to .45 ACP on many of its web pages. You
think some semi-retarded right-wing assholes here know more than S&W
about firearms?

They are either referring to the gun or they, like you, are being
imprecise with the language.

The cartridge is rightfully called '.45 Auto'. Find one .45 cartridge
with '.45 ACP' on the base.

Or, you could just gracefully bow out.

Also, from your link:

Note 'Caliber: .45 AUTO'. Maybe you missed that. I didn't check the rest of your links.

So far, you're batting about a zero.

Tell us about 'Digital Desire' instead.


I am sure S&W knows a lot more about firearms nomenclature than you and
your braindead buds here ever will.

Show me a cartridge with '.45 ACP' on the base.

I'm sure they are experts in firearm nomenclature. If they're talking
about the firearm, then '.45
ACP' could well be correct. Do they make .45 Auto ammunition? If so, I'll
bet the cartridge base
says '.45 Auto'.

Now hush, Mr. Precise. You blew it.


Maybe 50 years plus ago, it said ACP, but the rest of the manufacturers did
not want to mention Colt. Wasn't a30.06 originally a Winchester 30.06?


The fact is, the round has several names in common use by authoritative
vendors.

And those using '.45 ACP' are wrong. (You missed that part.) Besides the two names under discussion,
what other names are in 'common use by authoritative vendors'?
