While writers of murder mysteries may create some great stories, they don’t always get their facts straight.  For example, the other day I was listening to a book which listed the murder weapon as a Remington .45 ACP.

Now, I happen to own a Remington .45 but it is not an ACP.  ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol.  At the time that I purchased the Remington .45, I looked at the Colt .45 ACP.  But, since the Colt .45 ACP was more expensive than the identical Remington .45, I purchased the Remington .45 instead.

I guess I am too caught up in the details.  But, there is a $300 price difference between to two.
