GT, I think it was? But back then, many inventors overbuilt on purpose. If I remember correctly, John Browning purposely built them 20% stronger than he thought an owner would reload for. Since this was just after black powder and smokeless were the on-going experiement, inventors were still leery of under-gunning the pistol in strength.
Just my feeling on it, Ed
