A Colt .45 is about the only centerfire automatic pistol I'd ever consider owning. I owned a Government Model years ago, and it was THE only automatic pistol I ever owned that never jammed.

Why is it they are called automatic or semi automatic,I always thought they were self loading if not capable of continuous fire.That's not the way to win friends on here.

Self-loading, auto-loading, or semi-automatic are all correct.
Automatic is not entirely correct, but most shooters use it anyway.
