ammo troubles

[scottydude003]

I picked up some 45. ACP thinking it was 45. AUTO. will it still work in a 45. AUTO?

 

[jag312]

Yes. It is the same cartridge.

 

[scottydude003]

Sweet. whats the difference?

 

[s&wchad]

There is no difference, think Chevy/Chevrolet.

"ACP" stands for Automatic Colt Pistol.

Wait till you go to buy 9mm . You have 9mm, 9mm Parabellum, 9mm Luger, 9x19 . Probably a few more I missed.

Don't forget 9mm NATO... just saw that one yesterday.

i know my 9mm's pretty well. Except for the 9mm nato... thats the first i have ever heard of that.

With the 9mm it can get really confusing, not only do you have some many descriptions for the 9x19, you also have the 9mm Largo, 9mm Kurz, 9x21, and probably a host of others that I can't remember that will NOT fit a 9mm Parabellum.

9mm NATO (124gr FMJ bullet @ 1250fps) is identical dimensionally to 9x19 , 9mm Luger , 9mm Parabellum , except it is loaded to somewhat higher pressure (27,000psi) than US/SAAMI standard. It's more like +P. No problems in modern pistols.
