“The Philippine Insurrection (aka Philippine-American War) was done with in 1902.”
So what?
Repeated rebellions by the Moros against American rule continued to break out even after the main Moro Rebellion ended, right up to the Japanese occupation of the Philippines during World War II.
Read up before you start rewriting history. Out.

I’m not rewriting history.
I’m explaining how the military establishment developed and fielded weapons (and still does). This requires reference to actual documentation, not years-after anecdotes told and re-told around campfires, across mess tables, or traded during slow nightwatches on guard duty.
From the 1890s until early 1911, the US War Dept conducted a long series of evaluations & modifications of sundry semi-automatic pistols before choosing a new official sidearm for the Army. Developmental semi-auto pistols were not sent to the Philippine Department, so there wasn’t any side-by-side comparison between the standard issue Colt DA revolvers firing 38 Long Colt, and any 45 cal autoloader.
I can’t say why you insist otherwise.
