Go to YT and look up “truck accidents thailand” or similar Third World country.
You’ll quickly realize that the horrendous “truck driving” we are seeing from illegals with CDLs here is simply the way all truck drivers do things in their home countries.
Thailand, India, and Pakistan have some of the worst truck drivers on Earth. Last year India had over 90,000 truck accidents and over 12,000 dead because of same.
And the authorities just shrug, say “oh, well”- and send their worst drivers to the United States. Thereby making them Somebody Else’s Problem, as Douglas Adams would say.
It’s no fun being the Somebody Else.

I have a feeling the reason we’re being flooded with migrant truckers is to ensure there isn’t another Freedom Convoy. The gubbermints (all levels) in Canada wet their collectivist panties… and not in a good way… ending with invoking the Canadian version of the War Measures Act. That invocation was later found by a federal judge to have been unjustified.
The Freedom Convoy inspired similar peaceful protests around the world. Gubbermints everywhere want to avoid the plebs organizing.
Okay, now Mr.Blood is in Zed’s sight, with his daughter going full “vamp” with the hots. Did Mari not tell him the DD was a “guns are free” zone, or is the blue piece in respect for his hosts? Many moves from here, Chris…
I noticed that as well. When did Zed give that permission?

Shooter 2.5
And it seems most people who own a gun don’t know the difference between bullets and cartridges. It’s nice no one on this discussion made that mistake.
I know a so called gun expert who insists on calling it .45 LONG Colt. Really no such thing according to SAAMI. The name on the box is .45 Colt. Long doesn’t add velocity.
Actually, back in the day there were no less than three .45 revolver cartridges in U.S. Army service.
The first was the .45 S&W for the Schofield top-break revolver, introduced in 1869. Its case length was 1.1″, to fit the shorter cylinder of the Schofield. (Modern repro Schofields have longer cylinders to accommodate long cartridges such as .44 WCF.)
Next came the .45 Colt, introduced in 1872. Its case length is 1.29″, .19″ longer than the .45 S&W. As you can probably guess, the S&W cartridge can be used in either the S&W or Colt revolvers, but the Colt cartridge will not work in the S&W revolver. Using the “short” S&W cartridge in the Colt revolver did cause excessive fouling buildup in the front ends of the Colt’s chambers.
Due to having two different .45 revolvers in service and having the logistical problems that caused, in 1874 the Army introduced the .45 Standard cartridge aka .45 Army Colt. This had a case length of 1.2″ and a 225-grain semi-flatnosed bullet; it fit in the Schofield chambers but didn’t deposit as much powder grime in the front part of the Colt chamber.
So technically, that became colloquially the “.45 Short Colt”, and the original round became retroactively the “.45 Long Colt”.
Sometimes, you’ll find .45 Colt Army-issue rounds with the bullet’s nose cut off 1/8″ or so ahead of the case mouth. This was a field expedient used when supply screwed up and sent a unit armed with Schofields .45 Colt ammunition. Cutting the bullet nose off (which reduced bullet weight to about 220 grains) shortened the cartridge overall length just enough to chamber more-or-less-correctly in the Schofield.
So technically, “.45 Long Colt” is correct. And thanks to Cowboy Action Shooting, some makers are once more manufacturing both .45 S&W Schofield and .45 Army aka “Short Colt” ammunition.
So when you are shopping for .45 revolver ammunition, first make sure you know which type your revolver requires.
Didn’t see your writeup which went into more detail than I bothered with, once again we address the same thing from different directions 🙂 Pretty sure some Marines likely called them ‘Moros Medicine’ too 😉

The ‘Long’ was originally assigned to US Army cartridges to distinguish them frrom .45 Schofield which was also on issue at the time. Apparently, then as now, the Quartermaster didn’t particularly care what the manufacturer called something when assigning stock codes. e.g.: ‘fastener, wood, straight, one end flattened; for use with: tool, impact, handheld. Construction: steel, galvanized; UI:Box, colour: as provided by manufacturer.
Whether SAAMI thinks there’s no such thing as a .45 LONG COLT or not is irrelevant. I’ve been reloading and fabricating my own ammunition since the early ’70s. I’m now 75 and have MULTIPLE reloading manuals from several different bullet and powder manufacturers on my bench as well as in my library.
In EVERY manual, Hornady, Nosler, Speer just to name 3, the next cartridge loading data after .45ACP or .45 Auto Rim, is .45 LONG COLT…..and is STATED as LONG COLT!!!
Now some brass is head-stamped ‘.45 Colt’ or sometimes ‘.45 LC’ for “Long Colt”, but all the loading data will be designated for .45 LONG COLT!!
Whether SAAMI wants to acknowledge it’s “existence” or not……I couldn’t care less.
IT’S REAL…..IT’S A THING….AND IT EXISTS AS SUCH IN EVERY PUBLICATION I’VE EVER CONSIDERED RELEVANT TO MY RELOADING NEEDS!!!
Not shouting, just emphasis on a subject I have 50+ years experience in.
Well, no. That are old publications which state it for some sort of added information but there has never been a Long From the original manufacturer. Some foreign manufacturers have different names. I also noted the Cowboy Action types like added Long like it adds some sort of power to it.
The official name is .45 Colt.
We don’t have 9MM long Luger or .454 Longer Casull.
I also noted there are those who insist John Moses Browning invented the Hi Power which he did not. No more than Mercedes invented a Ford Taurus because it has a ICE and four wheels.
We do however have 9 x23mm Bergmann-Bayard Long aka 9 x 23mm Largo. Which was the Danish and Spanish service cartridge for over seven decades, and ballistically right up with .38 Super Automatic ten years before anyone at Colt thought of it.
Plus the 9 x 23mm Winchester. Which is ballistically and pressure-wise a .357 Magnum, will chamber and fire in either a 9 x 23mm Largo or a .38 ACP or Super, and will almost certainly blow the gun up if anyone is foolish enough to try it.
I’m waiting for somebody to figure out that the old 9mm Mauser Export (9 x 25mm) is the answer to the question of “How do we make a 9mm perform like a .357 Magnum without blowing up older guns?”

At one time (Back in the 70’s) Colt marketed their own line of ammunition, Their box said” .45 Long Colt” as the caliber designation. Seeing that they were the originator of the caliber,I figure either .45 Colt or Long Colt is acceptable.

True. Back in ’20, somebody posted an angry rant on FB about people leaving “dangerous bullets” lying around.
The “bullets” were actually some of these.

I wonder, would a blue hardcoat make someone who’s gone through a self defence course assume it’s a prop and act accordingly ?
The rule is, always treat the gun as loaded. Even if it’s a prop gun. Even if it’s a squirt gun.
I’m not looking forward to any strip where this “blue gun” and The Donald have to occupy the same place at the same time.
