    Aside from the .45 pistols. The stack of money is no where near 22 Billion dollars

      Well, we are looking at the 1911 design; there is no doubt about that.

      But are we looking at Colt's.....or Llama's? If the latter, well, I don't won't debate whether or not there is a .45 Llama because that's not the point.

      The point is........is there such a thing as a .357 magnum automatic? And if so, did it ever come in the 1911 design?

      Summary: just another case of someone writing something to a picture and not having a clue of what they are talking about.

          Not sure I follow what you are trying to say here.

          While technically it is probably correct to say semi-automatic, automatic for pistols is also acceptable.....at least when I was growing up.

          It is, after all, an ACP round used, no?

            $205.6 million, according to Snopes. Those gun museum pics didn't come from the raid, either, which happened back in 2007

                Yes, and yes.

                Not necessarily. We've proven that there are .357 Magnum semi-auto pistols. Remember when we had the conversation about finding things on the internet? The two links I provided were the first two answers on Google run for the search string ".357 magnum semi-auto".

                I'm afraid that here your hubris has caught up to you. You claim that this was "just another case of someone writing something to a picture and not having a clue of what they are talking about." In reality, while he may have had no idea what he was talking about, you definitely had no idea what you were talking about.

                  Well, then I stand corrected.

                  But I did post it here to see if such a thing existed and not to toot my own horn.........well, maybe just a little.......

                            The object label on the first picture indicates that the pistol is in fact a Colt .38 Super. Apparently the .45ACP is restricted to law enforcement/military in Mexico so the .38 super is the preferred cartridge for civilians. Probably preferred in the drug world for cheaper ammo (although it does not appear cheap matters that much...).

                              The .38 Super is fine. An interesting option is...
                              I don't always shoot pistols, but when I do, I prefer the 10mm Automatic.
