What's Your Definition of a Colt .45?
I believe that most people, laymen especially, are referring to a Colt 1911 .45ACP when they refer to a "Colt .45". Wouldn't a Colt .45 be a Colt .45 revolver?
What's your definition?

If someone asks me or mentions a Colt .45, I would assume that they were talking about a single action revolver. If the .45 was pertaining to a 1911, it should be stated as a 1911 or 1911 type .45.
Just my opinion,
Jim................

I would assume they were talking about a single action wheel gun IF the person saying such knew anything about weapons.
If they were a complete layman, I would ask, but assume they were talking about ANY 1911 pistol, maybe in .45 caliber.

'Zactly. That's what I think. I don't think most laymen are familiar with the term 1911.

I always think "cowboy gun" even though they weren't all 45 caliber.
