All done ... except for the parsing of 13A. The pattern of the clashes would suggest that there is not a 13A/9D clash, but I can't get away from my initial answers ... which clash. So I must be making a mess of 13A.

It's always good to give the clue...

Slightly cold temperature for revolver (4) Colt, revolver/gun.

Cool, slightly cold, T temperature. An O is extra, as per the preamble.

This answer is affected by clashes.

Glad I could help, novice.

I mentioned giving the clue as there are some good solvers on here, but they don't get all the papers, crosswords. Sometimes, of course, the thematic stuff gets in the way!
