I like their Schofield model better. Longer barrel, unloads faster, and one can use HKS speed loaders to load faster. Not to disparage this product, at all.

Watch um

I hope it doesn’t have one of those silly safeties like other gun manufacturers

The .45 LC? Geez, I wonder what the “LC” stands for… Maybe someone just doesn’t know their caliber designations? There are better ways to show off one’s ignorance.

Have to live under a rock not to know that caliber designation !
The two barrel lengths offered only have a 3/4″ difference, wouldn’t there be more shooters covered by offering a 4 3/4″ or 5 1/2″ and a 6″ or 6 1/2′ barrel ?

Yeah, just like you did.

.45LC is “Long Colt”. The original .45LC was black powder created in 1873 for the Colt Single Action Army revolver. In 1904, Browning created the .45ACP, and was used in the Colt 1911. The LC is rimmed for the revolver, and the ACP is “rimless” for the pistol. The LC is also 0.325 inches longer than the ACP. The other main difference is the bullet size and weight. Standard LC is 250 grains with a diameter of 0.452 inches; the ACP is 230 grains with a diameter of 0.451 inches. Like Rob inferred and you stated, “Maybe someone just doesn’t… Read more »

In 1870s there 45 Schofild, 45 Colt and probably several other 45s. Customers asked for Long Colt to be clear. The original 45 Colt was a 250 grain lead bullet and 40 grains of Fifth black powder. The powder load to the Army was later reduced. The Army also used S&W 45 Schofield which is shorter and uses less powder. Eventually the Army bought 45 S&W because the shorter case could be used in either revolver. Simerly the 45/70 began with a 500 grain bullet and 70 grains of powder That was soon standardized as 45/70/405. When the cavalry I’d… Read more »

Stands for lousy or lovely cooter. Whatever you choose. Just think how much cooter you could get strutting a 10 inch barrel. lol

Win1873 is correct. 45Colt is the caliber, not the other much abused designation. Colt has never, not ever used the so-called “LC” on any of the revolvers.

It is what is manufactured today for certain guns so thus the LC label that simplifies between the 45 LC to the 45 ACP, 45 LC has a Rim and the 45 ACP doesn’t!

Wild Bill

The designation has come to us as a market practice. Vendors and buyers needed to differentiate. The market provided.

You need to become brain engaged before trying to condemn known facts!

Even though the .45 and .45LC (Long Colt v. .45acp) are synonymous, my guess is that the writer just wanted to inform the reader who is less knowledgeable, not as Worldly and sans education with calibers as YOU obviously are…geeeeeezzzzzeeeee!
