Forgive me for intruding with my two cents worth.
I once read a novel, both author and title now forgotten, where the hero
carried "a Browning automatic." No problem. Somewhere around page 50,
our hero commenced to reload, and "swung the cylinder out..."
I didn't get to the end of the sentance before it hit me that a Browning
has no cylinder. The illusion that had been so carefully built burst
like a soap bubble. I tried to keep going, but disbelief set in too
deep.
A few chapters later, I tossed it in the trash. Too bad. Other
than that one mistake, it might have been a decent book.
