Weights of Model edit

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It seems to me that these articles about specific handguns would be more informative and helpful if the weight of a specific model, loaded, was given. The Colt Official Police in .38 Special is considerably heavier than than the Police Positive in the same caliber. While neither one is particularly "heavy" as handguns go, the difference in weight has a definite influence of perceived recoil.Andante$46 (talk) 00:03, 2 October 2011 (UTC)Andante$46Reply

Orphaned references in Colt Official Police edit

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Colt Official Police's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:02, 2 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
