Jonas Trapp carried a 44-40 Winchester lever action rifle and a single action revolver (most likely of the same caliber). 44-40 is suitable for small game hunting in brush country. It is essentially a handgun cartridge and would never have been a buffalo hunters gun. The 44-40 would not have the knock down to take down a buffalo and was a short range brush gun. It was not designed for long range shots to take down large game like a buffalo.
