Have your way. A manufacturer calls it that so must be true. How’s it loaded different than the 45C in the loading manuals.
However giving in to modern standard there is now a Short Colt, it’s called a 45Special. A shortened 45C to give the cowboys better shooting Ammo.
I agree with you that there is no such thing as a .45 Long Colt. Just .45 Colt. But, people do call them that occasionally. My dad does as well. I was just sharing the historical reason for why the term was used.
