Actually, the cartridges are .45 ACP (automatic Colt Pistol) and .45 Colt (the cowboy era revolver cartridge. There is not really a Colt 45 Long. Can a revolver shoot both? Some can- they are chambered for the Colt .45 -but to shoot .45 ACP they need a "half moon clip"- a strip of metal that holds 3 of the shorter .45 ACP cartridges. 2 of those fill a 6 shot revolver. The PISTOL (not revolver) that shoots the .45 ACP cannot shoot the .45 Colt- no groove for the extractor to pull a fired cartridge out of the chamber, and it is too long.
The .45 Schofield can be fired in a .45 Long Colt revolver, but the .45 Long Colt cannot be fired in a .45 Schofield revolver.
The Colt 45 was called that since it was made by the Colt company, and fires a .45 caliber bullet.
.45 ACP means Automatic Colt Pistol. It IS .45 Auto.
No, you cannot safely shoot .45 ACP ammunition in a .45 Long Colt firearm. The two cartridges have different dimensions, case lengths, and design specifications, which means they are not interchangeable. Attempting to use .45 ACP in a .45 Long Colt chamber can lead to dangerous malfunctions or damage to the firearm. Always use the correct ammunition specified for your firearm.
yes, if both weapons are for the 45 long colt cartridge
