what are some good high high capacity pistols?
Heizer Defense DoubleTap
this could be added as it is already on the site Heizer Defense DoubleTap and it 2 shot would fit with the description --Seekerdude (talk) 13:29, 18 September 2012 (EDT)

- As a guess: Belgian 'Le Rapide' in .25. Greg-Z (talk) 15:32, 17 March 2013 (EDT)
- Close enough for me. Thanks, Greg! --Elzzupa (talk) 13:17, 17 March 2013 (PDT)
- I don't see the ejection port in the cap. Can you give us the name of the movie, so we can get some context? --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:21, 17 March 2013 (EDT)
- It could be a mirrored shot, but i still dont think it is a Rapide. From the way the light is reflecting it appears that there is a step half way up the slide, with the top half being narrower than the bottom which is not the case on the Rapide. Also the slide serrations are on the bottom half of the slide, as opposed to the Rapide where they are on the top half. --commando552 (talk) 16:57, 17 March 2013 (EDT)

I am beginning to believe that the weapon is a pre-1939 EM-GE starter pistol.

Revolvers and Derringers
Since the page is separated beetween pistols and revolvers, wouldn't it make more sense to place derringers in the revolvers page?

- Derringers are pistols, not revolvers, so they are in right place here. Greg-Z (talk) 03:56, 22 July 2014 (EDT)
Sizing
It might be a good idea to go over this whole page, as some of the pistols in the 'Standard' section (which I assume should mean standard size, that is large or full-size variants) are closer to what we generally have classified as 'compacts' in size, even here on the page. Now if 'standard' means the standard size for that particular pistol series/variant, well, if we go by that reasoning we're kinda screwed as there are many 'standard' variants of pistols that are hardly large or full-size guns. Anyway, just wanna get some thoughts on this, particularly from admins - Just seem to be a couple models that seem to fit better in other sections and such. I know we don't have a strict regimentation here but I think we could be a bit more consistent perhaps. StanTheMan (talk) 16:39, 8 February 2015 (EST)
- Honestly, given how arbitrary and debatable the distinctions are, I personally think that we should just do away with the size-based categorization. Instead, we could split them up another way - say, muzzle-loaders, breech-loaders, manual repeaters (e.g. the Welrod, the Volcanic, etc.), semi-autos, and legal "pistols". Sound good? Unless anybody has any particular objections, I'll re-work the page sometime tomorrow or Friday. Best regards, Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 14:41, 21 November 2018 (EST)

Should legal pistols even be here?
