Hi,
I'm well aware that the OP was asking for a .45 "Long Colt" caliber COMBAT REVOLVER. HOWEVER . . .
1. The original .45 Auto round WAS loaded to the same velocities as the old .45 "Long Colt" cartridges . . . just much shorter in cartridge size for the (then) new high velocity ammo.
2. Thus, today's .45Auto IS the .45 Long Colt cartridge of the past . . . but easier to use, easier to pack more ammo, and easier to load!
3. Colt is effectively out of the "big bore" .45 market.
4. The S&W .45ACP revolver is a wonderful fighting handgun . . . in the barrel length of three and four inches, and with moon clip loaded .45ACP ammo, it can be reloaded by many as fast as a .45ACP pistol. Lightning-fast too from the holster . . . and really quick pointing when shooting at multiple targets too!
