John's gun?

Not a revolver.

Your attention to this detail is appreciated.

Also, in book canon, Watson had a revolver. People might be transferring canon inappropriately.

I think this is actually the root cause of most of the revolvers.

[laurajv]

Root cause or not, his gun in the series is visibly not a revolver. The transfer is wildly inappropriate. :D

[blktauna]

No disagreement on that point.

I see a lot of carry over from the books that is refuted by simple observation of the series. My guess is a few of these folks haven't actually seen it.

Or just don't know what the proper names of certain things are. Commoner failing than I'd like, though surely I'm guilty of it from time to time myself.

Well, in book canon, Watson could hardly have had a modern semi-automatic, since they didn't exist yet. But the times, people! Keep up with the times, and the canon you're working with!
