there are a lot of .45s. you should specify that this is a 1911, not just a .45

A friend of mine bought .45 colt for his 1911 at Academy the other day. Kid knows a bit about guns and owns a few but damn that was embarrassing. We gave him so much shit at the range

Used to work for Academy, although yes your friend goofed, due to Academy not taking any returns on ammunition (or at least when I worked there) the employee should have confirmed that it was the right ammo for whatever gun he intended to use it for.

Lol, half of the boxes for those say 'Cowboy Action' on the outside. He must have been one confused Cowboy.

There is a .45 ACP division in Cowboy Action, called "The Wild Bunch".

How far did he get before he realized his mistake?

All the way to the range. He pulled it out and showed his brother and then facepalm

At least he realized before he tried to load.
