In one of the Sears' catalogs, either '02 or '08, they offered the "Little Ladies" hammer dbl in the choice of the .44 shot or chambered for a rifle cartridge of near 3" length. They did not provide loaded shot loads for the longer case but sold primed empties for loading & stated it would take a ½oz load, & gave the proper charge of BP for that shot wt. Don't recall for sure, will have to dig out the catalog, just which cartridge it was but was a .40cal as I recall, either a Win or Sharps I am thinking.
