Your right, we are Gunnutz :shotgun:. And any real Gun nut would correct the people who were using the wrong terminoligy to identify a calibre, not join them ;) :D
 
Not to be confused with the .41 Long Colt and it's sister cartridge the .41 Short Colt. The latter being a completely obsolete cartridge as opposed to the former which is alive and well in Terrace, B.C.

I don't think I'll live long enough. Some guys refer to their .22-250's as 250's, there's guys who think a .338 Winchester is an elepant gun, and oh and the guy who told me yesterday that the bullet from his .223 was way bigger than the bullet which was seated in the .222 cartridge I just handed him.

The "Long" desigantion has been around far longer than I have, and has pretty much fallen into common useage. I think we should spread the word when it matters, but I'm not too concerned about anyone calling one .45 cartridge "Long" because it is longer than another .45 cartridge.

I understand, but there is a huge differance between a 45 Colt and a 45 ACP and pretty hard to mix the two up ;)

Either way, Gatehouse picked a nice revolver even if he does call it a LC :onCrack: :D

Good point. Lets start wiht you-

It's a CARTRIDGE, not a CALIBER.

While the nomenclature to be correct is 45 Colt the usage goes back to the West when gun owners asked for the long version ie the 45 Colt as opposed to the shorter 45 S&W. Both were used by the US ARmy. The latter round was essentially the .45 Colt with a shorter case and was the forerunner of the 45 Colt. The 45 S&W would function in the Colt SAA but the longer cartridge could not be used in the breakopen revolvers shooting the 45S&W.

Gunslinger-

is it a big hassle to import a handgun fomr the USA? Never needed to do it beofe...

It's like everything else, just as much a hassle jumping through the hoops to buy a gun in Canada. It's just paperwork, and Leroy's does this all the time as does Questar. It's really more a question of how much you really want one. It's the waiting that's the real hard part, that's why we post pics to help you through the lonely nights :).
