There's not even a debate, it's 45 Colt.

so all the accounts of the old timers saying 45 long colt because there was a round widely known as 45 short are just lies?

at the end of the day, it don't matter a damn

That's exactly how it got the moniker, but it was created the 45 Colt...the fact that there was a short colt is why people started calling it the long colt.

If Dodge came out with the Challenger II and people started calling the original the Challenger I, that isn't the correct designation.

No, it doesn't really matter, but it matters to nerds.

I get your meaning but that doesn't quite equate....but people already refer to them as second gen Challengers anyway

Yeah, point is Colt designated it the 45 Colt (no long designation) from the factory. It's a history snob thing I guess, lol.

You're just a dirty scoundrel, lol.

Well yes, but I was serious... I can't recall all of those logic fallacies that I learned in college... the only two that comes to mind is Red Herring and Straw-man argument. After that, I'm at a loss.

You have to make it idiot proof, you don't want any confused individual putting 45 Colt in their Glock now do you?
