Mistake on the S&W website?

I've noticed on the Smith and Wesson website when you select "Pistols" under "Choose An Item", the 4513TSW, 4563TSW, and 4566TSW are not shown or listed in any of the 4 groups (M&P, 1911, Metal Frame, and Polymer Frame). However, they are listed if you select them by model number or caliber. Seems a little puzzling to me? Is this just a website glitch or are these "special models"? By the way, these 3 models seem to be very highly thought of on the Handgun Review website. Anyone here own any of these models? What do you think of them?
I know that's a lot of questions but I've been out of the handgun hobby for awhile and just recently returned and I'm trying to make some purchase decisions. Thanks for your help.:smt068

I'm beginning to wonder about gun manf. websites. I don't think they keep up with what they are actually selling, (the left hand knowing 'bout what the right hand is doing thing). Para Ordnance does not show a particular model on their website or in their 2006 catalog, but they have the pistol at a local gunstore (PXC 1445E); Commander style, hi-cap(full length grip), single action, green, 1911. As you say, there are discrepancies in the S&W website and I have found some on the Springfield site. What gives?

The IT group often does websites, either internal IT groups or outsourced.

If anything IT does is worth a hoot and works even partially or sometimes - it is a miracle.

Also, many gun companies don't seem to put a big priority on websites. God, look at how terrible the site for Glock is...

IT geeks are GIGO people. (Garbage In= Garbage Out) Apparently, the company isn't QC'ing their websites and feeding back to the IT Geeks. Other times, the IT people are under a deadline and can miss stuff. Again, SOMEONE from corporate should be checking the updates thoroughly. I've often encountered someone who says, "build me a website". I ask, what do you want on it?? I get, "I dunno, just make it look pretty". After several go rounds, it gets done, but there are always errors.
