thread_title:  Assault weapons ban 

message: Maybe this is a term some people use, but I've never heard it. As far as I know there is no such thing as a hammerless revolver. There are shrouded revolvers that still allow access the hammer, and there are revolvers in which the shrouding completely covers the hammer. But they are both variants of the shrouded revolver. There is traditional hammer, bobbed hammer, shrouded hammer, and fully shrouded hammer. In the rest of the firearms world, "hammerless" refers to a striker-fired design, and I've never heard of a revolver that uses a striker. Maybe "hammerless" is a common descriptor for these guns, but I don't recall ever seeing it  before. Makes me suspect that someone put it on this page for lack of a better word, and as a result it WILL be a common term after enough people read the article.
At the very least it ought to make it clear that the reason that "hammerless" is put into quotes is because it's not actually hammerless.

Talk:Smith & Wesson .44 Hand Ejector First Model

message: I've merged this into Smith & Wesson Triple Lock.  The two articles were near duplicates in text, and referred to the exact same subject (the first model -is- the triple lock, and the 2nd and later were not covered here).  My decision about which title to use was based on the more common and simpler popular name of triple lock, but I have no strong opinion on which title it actually should be listed under.  Given the cumbersome official name (longer yet, in fact: ".44 Hand Ejector First Model 'New Century'") I went with easy to find.

thread_title:  .22 short not listed 

message: Reference current version I saved 11-22-2010: Mr. Trumbull kept reverting to previous version, but today I completed my re-write with references inserted. Most are from "Beretta Handguns-The Ultimate Guide" by J.B.Wood, Stoeger Publishing, 2006. This is well regarded and considered the "Beretta bible" among most Beretta collectors and enthusiasts. Mr. Wood has had full access to Beretta's offices, archives, and factories for his research and writing. He is considered a top authority on firearms in general, and Beretta handguns in particular.
Other information is referenced to Beretta's own factory website, and the 21A page of that website in particular. It is my understanding that Beretta no longer has a printed firearms catalog.
The previous version was riddled with inaccuracies, and nothing was referenced. I feel that by referring to authoritative sources, my version is a great improvement. I also own three Beretta 21A handguns personally, and use them to utilize my Concealed Weapon permit in my country, the U.S.A.. I have naturally sought out any and all information on this handgun, as I depend on it for the possibility of saving my life (or someone else's) someday. Someone may improve on my format or grammar, but I stand by the information itself as absolutely accurate.   18:43, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I did the last major edit of this article, and this line is the only significant addition since then.

This may or may not have the desired results of allowing one more round to be inserted and the follower blocking the slide open after the last shot. It is undocumented. I feel it may be a safety hazard. It could cause the gun to jam, it may damage the plastic follower, or other parts of the gun. I challenge its inclusion, and feel it should be removed.

I'm not sure how Adamite views characterised the Beghards? Maybe this should just refer to the Picards? (who's connection to the Beghards isn't certain).  Alternatively we could say "in the fourteenth by some German Beghards"

His political career includes service in Derry City Council, the Northern Ireland Assembly and the House of Lords. He has never held any office in the Republic of Ireland. I suggest that describing him as "an Irish politician", as was done in the previous version, suggests that his political career has been in the Republic of Ireland.

I too was a left-hander, and tried to copy Jaroslav with his googly deliveries, especially top spin serves from behind his head.
