I've always thought the 1873's WERE .45 Colt chambered, but it was the S&W Schofields (also issued) that were chambered for the .45 S&W, a 1/10" shorter than the Colt ctg. which of course, would not chamber the longer case. I shot a borrowed Schofield in .45 S&W in a cowboy action match.
1873 Colt revolvers were .45 Long Colt.
I referred to the Winchester 1873 replicas where the originals were .44 but replicas can be had in .45 LC.
I want the revolver and lever action using the same ammunition.
