According to my grandmother, a Cavalry brat whose father, John Sylvanus Loud, served from the "War between the States" to the Spanish American War, although the usage "Long Colt" came into being when she was a child, the average soldier know the difference between "Colt" and "Schofield" and didn't need the "Long" appellation to further differentiate.
On some forums, some people get very upset if someone calls a 45 Colt a 45 Long Colt. They seem to feel it's along the lines as calling a Magazine a Clip.
And it is.

Glad to see someone threw .45 Auto Rim on there just to season the pot. When I saw the title I immediately thought that it would be a comparison between Auto Rim and ACP.
