datable reference to carrying 5 rds in an SAA?

Does anyone have some dated references to the habit of carrying 5 rounds in Colts single actions? Was curious what's in print for early references to the practice. It's one of those things "we all know", but what do do we have for solid references in print as to when it became common in the cartridge guns?
