I watched The Outllaw Josie Wales on AMC last night. This movie was set at the very tail end of the Civil War and none of the characters (as far as I could see) had cartridge loops. This is consistent with them not being needed because most handguns did not use cartridges at the time.
I hadn't seen that movie in a long time and I had forgotten how entertaining it is.
