Years ago some centerfire calibers used to be available in both Short and Long versions, just like the .22 rimfire came in both Short and Long versions. But as far as I know there has never been a .45 Short Colt and .45 Long Colt. There's only .45 Colt. If you call it a .45 Long Colt or .45 LC, you're calling it by the wrong name. Just because some gun and ammo companies started calling it that too doesn't make them right. There's no such thing as a muzzle BREAK that screws onto a gun barrel either. I see them for sale all the time, but that still doesn't make it right.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783

Gentlmen,
The thread reads "44 Special .. your thoughts".

Every time I hear US argue over petty stuff, I hear Pelosi, Schummer, Kennedy and friends giggling.

No you don't, because fightingquaker13 is giggiling too loudly.

Arguments..?
Heck, I thought it was just the 'normal' case of everyone with an opinion stating it in the first couple of pages and then spiraling downward into childish lunacy.

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

"When it comes to the enemy, just because they ain't pullin' a trigger, doesn't mean they ain't totin' ammo for those that are."~PegLeg

 One of my favorite cartoons before I found out how much fun cats were ;D

My box of Ultramax ammo for the revolver says 45 Colt. So does the Magtech ammo.

Q: anyone with any experience using the Magtech offering? Magtech claims 'superior performance'. 
Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

This is my Ruger Blackhawk (50th Anniversary) .44mag, but it shoots .44 SPL loads like a mild 38spl.  ;D

Q: Ever heard a company lay claim to an INFERIOR product ?
