One Cartridge, not a box: Cowboy .45 Special by the American Cowboy Company, using new brass cases with “COWBOY 45 SPL” Head-Stamp and loaded with a 180 grain lead projectile.

History of Cowboy .45 Special cartridge:

Like the 44 Special is a shorten venison of the 44 Magnum, the Cowboy 45 Special is a shorten, reduced lower load, lower recoil version of the 45 Colt, and meant to be used in 45 Colt revolvers.

This cartridge began sometime around 2005 and was a proprietary load marketed by “Adirondack Jack” of Gloversville, NY mostly no longer in service. Jack had the brass made and head-stamped “COWBOY 45 SPL” by Starline Brass Company and in a letter in Dec. 2012, he closed shop after selling over 500,000 cases.

Jack sold his operation to Ken & Carolyn Rucker of Speedbump Stockworks, in San Antonio, TX, who carried on production orders & sales until January, 2015 when the caliber was sold to American Cowboy Ammo Company.
