Frequently Asked Questions about .45 Long Colt Revolvers
What is a Colt 45?
The term "Colt 45" commonly refers to two distinct firearms: the Colt Single Action Army revolver, which is chambered in .45 Colt (sometimes referred to as .45 Long Colt) cartridge, and the M1911 semi-automatic pistol, chambered in .45 ACP. Both firearms are iconic in American history, renowned for their reliability and powerful cartridge.
When Did Colt 45 Come Out?
The Colt Single Action Army revolver, also known as the Peacemaker, was first introduced in 1873. It quickly became one of the most popular firearms of the American West. The M1911, another firearm often called a "Colt 45" due to its caliber, was introduced in 1911 and has served in various military capacities for much of the 20th century.
How Much is a Colt 45?
The price of a Colt 45 varies widely depending on the model, condition, and historical significance. Modern replicas and new models of the Single Action Army revolver can range from $1,500 to $2,000, while original historical pieces can fetch much higher prices. The M1911 and its variants also vary in price, from around $700 for basic models to several thousand dollars for collectible or custom editions.
What is the Difference Between 45 Colt and 45 Long Colt?
The terms "45 Colt" and "45 Long Colt" are often used interchangeably to refer to the same cartridge, originally designed for the Colt Single Action Army revolver. There is no actual difference between them, though "45 Long Colt" was a term used to distinguish it from the shorter .45 Smith & Wesson Schofield cartridge in the late 19th century. The "45 Colt" is the correct and original designation.
How Many Rounds Does a Colt 45 Hold?
The capacity of a Colt 45 revolver depends on the specific model. The classic Colt Single Action Army revolver holds 6 rounds of .45 Colt ammunition.
