True, but I can't see that being practical in a .45 ACP weapon.

Dillinger's were .38 Super if I recall correctly.

Since 15 and 30 round mags weren't invented yet, I'd agree with that aspect for .45s. Unless someone built custom extended magazines (since, even the .38 super model was loaded with custom welded 20 round magazines made by connecting two 10-rounders.)

On that notion though, the Colt Machine Pistols used in Public Enemies were 9mm, so I wonder how one built in 9mm would fair. There'd be plenty of ammo to salvage off the enemy weapons.

Personally, I always thought the notion of a "Pistol, Officer's, General's" was a bit ridiculous, but I liked how it was a Colt 1903 in .32 ACP, definitely a gentleman's gun.
