I will see if I can copy it and post on here.I remember telling either Jim Taylor or John Taffin (maybe both).Especially John Taffin as he wasn't in favor of the Long Colt name. But I will find it as the Long Colt name isn't anything new. If I remember correctly the Long Colt was dropped around the end of WW2, maybe a bit later. The article gave the reasoning for the 45 Government and the Long Colt names and why it was later dropped. Anyway I will find it.
