I'll Stick My Nose In Here
Here's my theory...First off I agree with mykeal and I've read numerous other postings elsewhere to support this theory and most importantly, it makes sense.
When Colt's started producing cartridge pistols there was probably a need to differentiate between those guns easily. It's my thought that since all Colt's percussion hand guns of the period were referred to as 44 Caliber then the cartridge weapons would be referred to as 45 Caliber.
To quote Dennis Miller, "That's just my opinion, I could be wrong".
