The problem is that is screws up the rotation in the article alphabetization.
that is because people will still type in "Smith & Wesson Escort" without realizing that the actual model number is the 61. If they do, they will still end up at the RIGHT PAGE. Those who type in Smith & Wesson 61 Escort will get the correct page. Re-directs don't count because they are not in the actual GUN DIRECTORY. They won't show up in the listing of all GUN pages. They just show up in the rotation (which people should NOT be using to find a gun anyway).
