Regardless of what you may have accumulated as knowledge, ignoring your arrogance, you are just rude. Your modus of just playing insult the posters also paints you as a lout. Your ‘knowledge’ is useless when you are so rude as to be commonly ignored. Put another way, so we’re sure you get the point, you’re so rude we don’t give a hoot what you ‘know’. Like a petulant child, you demand to be respected yet show behavior undeserving of respect. We readers might forgive your asshattery, if you’re plagued with mild autism.

re: 45 nomenclature

If you care have a look at -—sightm1911.com-—the 45 Auto Cartridge History page——— for the EIGHT permutations for the prospective new Army cartridge.The one finally adopted was the UMC M1909 round sans bullet cannelure.

UMC headstamped their round as 45 ACP. Frankford Arsenal used FA8-—11. Winchester’s entries were W.R.A. Co. .45 A.C.

None of them were marked 45 Auto. Apparently the Union Metallic Cartridge Company and the US Army didn’t get the memo that they were not allowed to use the 45 ACP nomenclature.

BTW, in another vein the 45 site above as a sidebar story called The Guns Of Frank Hamer that is worth a gander.

One weekend in the 70s my younger brother then in the Army brought a naphew of Frank Hamer to my place for the weekend. A quiet, nice, big strapping kid about 6’4”or 5”.
