When the U.S. became involved in the Philippines early in the prior century they found out that the recently issued .38 revolvers wouldn't reliably put down the drug fueled Moros.They brought out of storage 1873 Colt revolvers that were obsolete so as a cure they contracted with Colt to supply them with their recently introduced New Service revolver in .45LC ,which the army named the Model 1909. Later on it was chambered for .45 ACP during the first world war as the Model 1917,and many other chamberings before being dropped by Colt in 1944.
