I found this description by Colt in 1940 pertaining to the Colt New Service in both .44-40 and .45acp;
"The New Service is essentially a holster Revolver for the man in the open / Mounted, Motorcycle and State Police: the Hunter, Explorer and Pioneer. It is the Arm adopted as Standard by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and hundreds of city and state Police.
Perhaps some were carried as personal weapons by troops.
