[edit] Cultural impact

Would any of the primary contributors mind if I added a "Cultural impact" section, where some cases of P210's use in fiction as well as airsoft models styled after it would be mentioned? --Koveras ^☭ 20:22, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

See WP:GUNS#Pop culture, also, past consensus states no talk of airsoft replicas, and most of the fictional uses are not notable enough to actually be worth having in an article.--LWF (talk) 21:02, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I see. :) --Koveras ^☭ 08:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I think there's something wrong with the following sentence in the entry as it exists as of today -- it appears to be a run on, but I'm not sure how best to parse or fix it :)

"Its hammer action is built into a removable assembly for easy maintenance, and its slide rides inside the frame rails, rather than outside as in the traditional Browning pattern adding Swiss designer Charles Petter SACM Modele 1935 pistolet system, allows for a very tight fit between the slide, barrel, and frame without compromising reliability."

Should it read (in relevant part) "... pattern. Adding Swiss designer Charles Petter's ACM..."? timbo (talk) 05:50, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

That's definitely not grammatical but a good rephrasing is difficult without understanding the derivation of the P210's action and I know little on that subject. Perhaps "Its hammer action is built into a removable assembly for easy maintenance and its slide rides inside the frame rails in contrast to the traditional Browning pattern. This addition from Swiss designer Charles Petter's SACM Modele 1935 pistol allows for a very tight fit between the slide, barrel, and frame without compromising reliability."

If that's adequate (once links are added) all the better. However if its not the problem appears to be that "adding" has turned into some awful sort of conjunction welding together two separate sentences. The only problem I see with simply inserting a period after "pattern" is that without careful reading it is easy to miss which element of the Modele 1935 action was added to the Browning action.
