So how many wrongs make a right? And you use an off-shore reference for the proper designation of a U.S. cartridge? The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturing Institute (SAAMI) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) establish the full and abbreviated names of standardized cartridges. The "ACP" designations were obsoleted prior to World War II. Where have you been? And don't blame the gun writers. It has long been known that their only education in the guns and ammo field is by reading other gun writers. The blind leading the blind. It is no more appropriate to use obsolete cartridge designations than it is to address a married lady by her maiden name. Please brush up on your knowledge before posting about a subject which you obviously have very little factual information.

Hmm, what if Smith and Wesson's website was to blame?

"Model SW1911 TFP SKU #: 108309 Caliber: .45 ACP Capacity: 8+1 Rounds Barrel Length: 5" / 12.7 cm $1,099.00 "

Or the Taurus website? "Home » Pistol » TAURUS 1911 .45 ACP PISTOL IN BLUE/GRAY TAURUS 1911 .45 ACP PISTOL IN BLUE/GRAY"

Then how will you feed that 45 ACP pistol?

You do realize that you have caused someone, somewhere to have a seizure, right? :-)

All of those folks ....still using that obsolete cartridge designation is too out of date to bring anything meaningful to the conversation. What the hell do they know?

Cute! Now post photos of the headstamps in each respective carton.

Again, how many wrongs make a right?
