no with regard to cases. 45 long colt has a ridge that sets on end of cylinder. 45 acp is rimless. however, they do make a cylinder for the acp that can be used on colt single actions. i have just bought a uberti 45 and was told by the dealer "a very reputable" that a 45 colt, and a 45 long colt are exactly the same. it's when you add the acp that it is a shorter round with no lip on the back of the case where the primer fits to stop it from going all in the cylinder

What is the difference between 45 Colt and 45 Long Colt ammo?

They are the same exact round. When the .45 Schofield (S&W) round was introduced in the late 1800s people began to refer to the .45 Colt as the .45 Long Colt, or Long .45, because the .45 Schofield was shorter. The name may have changed for a while, but the actual round never did.

Can you use colt 45 and colt 45 long in the same pistol?

Actually, the cartridges are .45 ACP (automatic Colt Pistol) and .45 Colt (the cowboy era revolver cartridge. There is not really a Colt 45 Long. Can a revolver shoot both? Some can- they are chambered for the Colt .45 -but to shoot .45 ACP they need a "half moon clip"- a strip of metal that holds 3 of the shorter .45 ACP cartridges. 2 of those fill a 6 shot revolver. The PISTOL (not revolver) that shoots the .45 ACP cannot shoot the .45 Colt- no groove for the extractor to pull a fired cartridge out of the chamber, and it is too long.
