Colt 45
Budget malt beverage
Colt 45 refers to several things unified by the number.
The Colt .45 is a semiautomatic pistol, officially the M1911, chambered in .45 caliber—standard U.S. military sidearm for much of the 20th century.
Colt 45 is also a brand of malt liquor, marketed since the 1960s and associated with urban culture and hip-hop: We grabbed some Colt 45 from the corner store.
