The Army Tests the Triple Lock in 1907

Somewhere in this thread, someone must have posted a case length for the S&W Special cartridge and I have missed it!

Trying to wrap my head around this round, the 45 S&W Special, aka 45 Frankford.

From kcwheel we learned the chamber specifies as measured in his revolver. From Honda44, we are reminded of the similar 45 Cowboy Special.

Am I seeing it correctly, the the S&W Special is the length of the Cowboy Special plus the thickness of the rim? The CS is the length of the depth of the S&W Special chamber?
