During WWI, the US Govt. took over the factory and ran it, dissatisfied at the rate that S&W shipped M-1917 .45's. Would they have allowed commercial production of other models?

There are records of occasional commercial revolvers shipping in 1918, M&P as well as Regulation Police. We've had lettered guns shown here. I think the assumption usually is that they shipped from pre-war inventory.
