  • You cannot shoot 45 acp out of a . 45 colt unless you get a conversion cylinder for it. Without the conversion It will just fall into the chamber until it gets stuck, well beyond the reach of the firing pin.

  • no the 45 lc has a rim on the case which seats against the barrel the 45 acp is a Rimless case and would not have anything to Seat (headspace on)

  • Michael, No 45 ACP a rimless cartridge will not head space in a 45 colt rimmed cartridge lever gun. Same .451" diameter bullet, but totally different design rounds.

  • Michael, unfortunately no. The .45ACP is a rimless cartridge and will not headspace for firing in a .45LC. Cheers and stay safe!.
