Looks that way. I had to take a couple minutes googling to figure out that particular .38 is 40 cal. Several here learning something new today.
I guess it was a marketing decision?? 40 WCF might have been confused with their 44 WCF? (40-40 vs 44-40? Have no idea, really.)

If you do decide to run 36 Cal. cap guns have a look at 1861 style Colt Navy’s. A little more “sleek” than the 1851 and feel great in hand. I have also found that using conical bullets makes a bigger splash on steel targets and the spotters are more likely to see the hits.
Amen to that... using those little 80gr soft lead balls, spotters have trouble hearing the hit, and you get those "miss" calls that you know hit the target. I went to 135gr .36 conicals and the "can't hear-'m" misses went away.

Los Pistoleros de Santa Margarita - the Santa Margarita Gun Club at Camp Pendleton monthly match.The matches at Pendleton were unique among other cowboy matches, in that the Marine Corps rifle range offered the opportunity for some very challenging stages. The rifle targets for most stages were set out at 75-100 yds, with at least one stage with rifle targets at 200 yds. There was always a team event at the end of the match.Because of the stages' tough, challenging, and slower nature, there was only time for 4 or 5 stages per match. Most stages were shot with only one or two guns.

Read, so recycle.
Hardcopy Cowboy Chronicle 2023 free for postage. Don't know what that will cost these days. PM me and I'll get it off tomorrow.
When I finish with mine, I bring it with me and leave it in a waiting room. (I'm hanging out in waiting rooms way too much lately)... take off my address and leave it for others to read. The magazine format is better for that than the large newspaper-type ones we used to get. I kept the real early ones.

Izzy Lost, (Ernie Nicholas - Sept. 19, 2022)
"Today we lost another Good CowBoy.
Izzy Lost alias Ernie Nicholas.
He was a good man that I always saw a smile on his face n a joke on his lips.
It's gonna be hard to fill his boots n sorely missed.
A Good Cowboy to ride the river with, n I pray that he saves a place on his posse for us all." - Alamo Kid-

"We lost one of the old Los Vaqueros Shooters, Dirty Dave Rudabaugh, today Sept. 13, 2022. He was always fun to shoot with and a good shooter. He won the Modern category at Winter Range, back when it was a category. Ride well, old pard!" - The Butcher
