45 LONG COLT

45 Long Colt ammo is the round that tamed the west. The round was loaded into some of the most famous weapons not only of the west, but of all time. The 45 Long Colt or 45 Colt found it’s way into the famed Single Action Army revolver and the famous Winchester Lever Action rifle. The 45 Colt is a potent round that has seen action across the world as well. The 45 Colt was a favorite for cowboys in the west but across the world in Samuel Colt’s famed revolver and Winchester’s famed rifle.

The 45 Long Colt is not an antique round, or outdated. 45 Long Colt ammunition has adopted and evolved into a modern cartridge, while still holding on to a piece of its roots. Smith and Wesson’s night guard series of big bore belly guns chambered in 45 Colt. S&W also produces their famed Model 25 revolver, also known as the famed mountain gun. S&W and Taurus both produce 410 / 45 Colt revolvers, and of course the beautiful American Derringer models.

The round itself is produced in modern defensive loadings with hollow point bullets available from some of the biggest ammo manufacturers around today. Of course, the more traditional loads for cowboy action shooting, like lead round nose and wadcutter rounds, are still popular and are built to near the same specs the same were a hundred years ago.

More About 45 LC Ammo

Is the .45 Long Colt the Same as .45 ACP?

45 Long Colt vs. 45 ACP calibers

No. In fact, 45 LC and 45 Auto are two very different cartridges. The .45 Long Colt was released in 1872, and is seen as one of the classic Wild West cartridges. The .45 ACP, on the other hand, was released in 1905 by Colt’s Manufacturing Company, with the assistance of legendary designer John Browning. The .45 Long Colt is largely intended for revolvers, while .45 ACP ammunition is meant for semi-automatic handguns. The .45 Long Colt has a slightly larger neck diameter as well shorter case length, among other differences. These are two distinct rounds that are not interchangeable. You can learn a ton more about the differences in this 45 LC vs. 45 ACP article at our blog.

Which Firearm is Best for the .45 Long Colt?

The .45 Long Colt was created for revolvers, so it does not have many of the features that make other rounds ideal for semi-automatic weapons that load from a vertical magazine. It is also a good firearm for lever action rifles, but it actually was not used in rifles during its heyday. This is because the Colt company refused to make (or even allow other companies to make) rifles for the cartridge.

45 LC caliber vs 44 magnum

45 Long Colt vs. 44 Mag

Both the 45 Long Colt and 44 Magnum have loyal and passionate fan bases in the shooting community - but which is better for you? Check out our 45 LC vs 44 Mag guide here to get an idea of which of these calibers is best for you.

Is the .45 Long Colt the Same as .45 Colt?

Yes. This cartridge goes by a few different names, but it is most often called either .45 Long Colt or simply “.45 Colt.” These are just two names for the exact same cartridge. The ammunition also goes by the name of “11.43×33mmR,” although this name is rarely used among the shooting public. It may also be called the “.45 LC.”

Can You Use the .45 Long Colt for Personal Protection?

Yes. While the cartridge is largely viewed as a novelty round, used mainly for target shooting and cowboy competitions, the .45 Long Colt is certainly a capable self-defense round. It can deliver effective stopping power and velocity, and while it doesn’t get the same following for self-defense purposes as, say, the 9mm Luger or .357 Magnum, it remains a highly effective round for both target shooting and personal protection. If using the cartridge for personal protection, you will want to choose an expanding round such as a jacketed hollow point or jacketed soft nose.
