Is that a 45 Colt? Long Colt.

So is it 45 Colt or 45 Long Colt?

While either term is correct, 45 Long Colt was really just a nickname. The majority of ammunition manufacturers stamp their cases with "45 Colt" as do the majority of firearm manufacturers mark their firearms with the same.

The reason for this is because .45 COLT is the official name used by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI). When all else fails, this is the correct term to which we fall back.

What about an sks with synthetic stock, or a Turkish 8 mauser(gewehr 1893), or an American tactical ar 15 with a red dot?
