also  What is the difference between 45 acp and the 45 auto??

I assume you're referring to the 45 Auto Rim?  It's a revolver cartridge.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.45_Auto_Rim

I'm not sure.  If it has a rim, it's for revolvers. From the pictures, it doesn't appear to have one, so they probably just leave out the "Colt Pistol" out of the title. 45 ACP = 45 Automatic Colt Pistol

45 Auto usually refers to 45ACP (the A in 'ACP' stands for Auto)

no freedom only has .45acp, also reffered to as .45 auto

.45 auto and .45ACP are the same thing. Yes your 1911 will shoot 45 auto.

With so many similarly named cartrages it can be confusing.

i think the revolver cartridge is more often referred to as ".45 colt" or ".45 long colt". your link has an example of it, the link should be right under the .45 auto on the left side.

Agreed just wanted to correct false information.

.45 Auto Rim is a .45 ACP with a rim. It's a converted pistol cartridge and it will only work in revolvers. Those same revolvers can safely fire .45 ACP with clips if the cylinder is designed to accept them, since it's otherwise the same load.

 

.45 ACP and .45 Auto the the same thing, a pistol cartridge that will work in your 1911

 

.45 Colt (or .45 Long Colt/LC as it became known as later to distinguish it from the ACP) is a cartridge designed specifically for revolvers.

 

Hope that clears it ip

ahhh i didn't know there was a rimmed version of .45 acp
