[edit] Who got rid of the picture of the S&W version?

I could've sworn there was a picture of one on here. Yes, they look different. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.32.22.177 (talk) 17:30, 2 January 2007 (UTC).

I don't know, it was gone when I got here. If you can find one that's decent quality, it might add to the article. Deathbunny 18:46, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... I'm not quite sure how to set up an image, what with the copyrights and stuff. I know world.guns.ru has a picture, but it's not the best quality. I found this http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Smith_and_Wesson_Hand_Ejector_1425.jpg on the commons. It's a second-model hand ejector, only difference is that it's in .455. Might that work? 75.32.22.177 21:38, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

To be honest, I'm not sure how different the two weapons are. My suggestions are to haunt the US government history and military history pages for a shot. Perhaps Military History Institute's digital archive for an old manual you can pull a picture out of and clean up. Deathbunny 21:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I just maybe thought that a picture of a 2nd-model hand ejector in a slightly different chambering might work. But as I said, world.guns.ru has one. The American-180 page has an image from world.guns.ru, so I could probably get permission to use their M1917 image too if I asked. 75.32.22.177 21:53, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

By all means, I think a picture and a little more detail on the differences might be useful. Deathbunny 01:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
