I think having a page for each frame is a bad idea. It will result in enormous pages of vastly different guns. That being said, adding a notation of the frame type to the Smith & Wesson page is a fantastic idea. One that I am tempted to run with...

The Model 629 should definitely be split from the 29 page. Not sure why it didn't it's own page to begin with. Model 586/686, 19/66 each have their own.

A category could be created for each frame size, so they can be grouped together that way. Having the frame size listed on the S&W page may help some.

I would agree with the splitting as long as there are proper links from the stainless version to the original.

Another one that needs some attention is the Model 637 which appears on two different pages. (Smith & Wesson Model 637 & Smith & Wesson Model 37 Airweight / 637 Airweight)

Did we come to a conclusion on this?

Noyes. I think the way it's been done with the frame size being listed on the manufacturer page is the best way to go. But other than that I think the original idea is the way to go.

As long as we're consistent, I don't care. I would rather merge than separate stainless from blued versions, but I'll defer to majority opinion on this.
