I wish we could get away from using LERK, MERK, SERK, etc. Discounting the Model of 1899, there was the mushroom-shaped knob used until about 1927-28, the barrel shaped knob used until about early1947, and the knurled rod tip beginning about early 1947 (however pre-WWII M&P snubbies always used the knurled rod tip). Why can't that terminology be used? It's less confusing.
