Wasn't the short colt ( and I'm going off memory here) designed by Colt to supply the Army and keep them from buying .45 Schofield cartridges? (the .45 Schofield would also work in the Colt Peacemaker but not the other way around. At that time, there were @ 8,000 Schofields and 12,000 Peacemakers in Army service)

I may have dreamed this.........
