			:It has three safety features: manual safety catch, grip safety and magazine safety (it can't cock or fire while the magazine is ejected). [[User:GrizzlyWeasel\|GrizzlyWeasel]] ([[User talk:GrizzlyWeasel\|talk]]) 08:06, 19 March 2016 (EDT)

	We have a lot of European pocket pistols on this page, and they are labeled as descendants of Colt 1908. But isn't it more correct to say that numerous Spanish "Eibar" pistols and their French cousins are based on FN Model 1905 rather than Colt 1908? Both FN and Colt pistols are brainchild of John Moses Browning and are very close to each other, so technically any of them can be called an ancestor for later pistols, but isn't it more logical that Spanish and French pistols are primarily offsprings of a Belgian model? Maybe the best decision would be to merge Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket and [[FN Model 1905]] pages.

			:I agree with this. It makes no sense to have the FN 1905 (which was the version of the Colt 1908 made for the European market) on a separate page & then have the European knock-offs listed on the Colt 1908 page. They should either be moved to the FN 1905 page or the FN 1905 should be included within this page too.
