Does anyone know if Winchester ever made a model 1892 in .44magnum that was...
A. Made in America
and
B. Does not have any kind of modern safety?
If so, was it available in .45 Colt?
I don't think I've ever seen one in those two calibers as described but I figured if they existed, someone here would know. Thanks!

-Winchester has not made an 1892 in the US since roughly 1945, 10 years before the .44 Magnum showed up.
-American made Winchester 1892s were in .44-.40, .38-30, .32-20, .25-20, & .218 Bee
-In the Winchester family of related companies, Browning sold Miroku (Japan) made B-92s in .357 and .44 mag w/o the modern safety.
-Winchester never made an 1892 in 45 Colt during its American production run (1892~1945).
-Miroku (maker of Browning and current Winchester 92s) made 1892s in .45 Colt were not produced until the 21st century, and those all have the safety.
