Buffalo Head,
You came out of the gate with a chip on your shoulder using such abrasive talk as “WTF” and “Read the Headstamp Stupid”.
Later you responded to other posters with other drivel “folks that don’t have a clue” and “you need help”.
My response to you was unseemly as well by calling you “an arrogant little prick”, and for that I apologize.
But after revisiting this most excellent thread, excellent because I like knowing how my bud freepers feel about shtf fire arms and plus a little conflict makes things more interesting, one thing stands out to me;
While you like to brag about your knowledge you lack common wisdom, and you come accross like a jihadist in your fervor to belittle everybody about their “lack of knowledge”.
If you had common wisdom you would accept the fact that EVERY firearm builder from Colt Manufacturing to Springfield and all those in between who build a 1911 variant list their products as .45 ACP, not
45 Auto. Every reloading manual from Hornady’s to Nosler list the load data .45 ACP or in parentheses next to .45 Auto.
And while you are mostly correct inasmuch as headstamps are marked .45 Auto, there are still manufacturers such as IMI who headstamp their brass .45 ACP.
That being said everybody who’s been on this thread knew what ricmc2175 was talking about when he referred to a .45 ACP, fact is even You knew what he was talking about.
I’d suggest you take your private little jihad to a gun forum but I know for a fact you’d get treated like the sniveling idiot that you are in a far worse fashion. Maybe you’ve already tried it. Lol.
Anyway your “knowledge” doesn’t impress anybody here with the way you try sharing it, and I imagine if we were all at the gun club together you’d get bitch slapped for the arrogant little prick that you are. Uh, figuratively of course...
I apologize again for calling you an “arrogant little prick”.
And remember, most of us don’t give a rat’s ass if you want to call the cartridge a .45 Auto, hell you could call it a “little Buffalo pecker head” and we’d be fine with it.
B Head is much sound and fury that signifies nothing because no one cares because he is always an ass about it.
Shame too, because he may actually have some knowledge to pass along.
The page I mentioned in post 179 had representations of each of the experimental contenders with the case dimensions and I thought it quite interesting. As noted earlier, along with the Frankford Arsenal round there was the UMC equivalent which was headstamped 45 ACP.
Epic.
You nailed it.
He’s the guy that makes gun guys look bad and turn possible future gun guys/gals to get discouraged.
In a TSHTF situation the ability to get along with others will count far more than knowing whether its .45 ACP or .45 Auto or even just a 45.
The inability to get along with others will get you thrown out on your butt or maybe even shot.
