hi doc

read mike venturinos book on the 45. there were three different lengths of ammo. the 45 long colt or peacemaker round and the 45 s&w schofield, or short colt being the most popular. long and short were two terms used when purchasing ammo to differentiate between the two. much the same way we buy 22 ammo nowadays.

Chuckle, i do agree with ya Treedoc, but there are enough people out there who think .45acp is all there is, so I always add in the designation to prevent misunderstanding :)
