We know it was Italian because that's the only source of such replicas.

Not exactly. Hartford Armory, if still in business, produced high quality replicas of the Remington cartridge guns that were made entirely in the US. Not unlike USFA. In fact, they were also chambered in .44Mag and factory rated for .45Colt +P. Not likely that that's what the shooter used but they are out there.
While I own several S&W's and a .480 Super Redhawk, I use single actions for pretty much every purpose. From plinking to hunting, concealed carry and general purpose field use. When you spend as much time with them as I do, it's the natural choice. And no, I don't plan on anybody "waiting" for me to thumb the hammer back. The hammer comes back as the sixgun clears leather. No other handgun type is faster from leather to the first shot.
