I just received a Colt 1911 Gold Cup for Christmas and have a few questions (i know this has probably been posted already, but i did not return anything in a search)...what is the difference between .45ACP and .45Auto?  Can I shoot both out of the pistol?  The barrel is labeled with .45 auto and that is the amo they gave them at the gun store when they picked it up, however the clip says .45ACP

.45ACP (automatic Colt Pistol)  = .45Auto.

Same same. Youll be fine.

Fixed it for you.  Some of them around here will get their panties in a bunch over that one.  



Congrats on the new Pistole'!  Damn fine weapon you got.



.45ACP and .45Auto are the same.  Your good to go.  Just dont try to load up a .45LC!

The magazine reads .45ACP.



ACP is short for Automatic Colt Pistol.

This thread needs a picture. I hope Santa brought you a camera at some point.



FYI:  Garands use clips.  The 1911 uses a magazine.

This thread is worthless without pics!  COM' ON MAN!  

Can I have your Santa talk to my Santa some time around August?  I'd like him to have a head start!
