I'm not sure that "pistol or revolver" matters .
Revolvers are just one type of pistol action.
We don't refer to Lugars as "toggles".
A pistol might be a revolver, but revolvers are most commonly pistols .

Hey CR, you realize spell check isn't on your list ?  😁

Spell Check doesn't help with words like break and brake.  Both are spelled correctly.  Stake and steak are both spelled correctly, but you'd only want the one for dinner. It gets more confusing with words like rite, right, and write.  Englush are cornfuzing.

The definition I read ages ago of pistols is that the chamber is integral with the barrel. By that definition my Contender is a pistol. My semi-autos are pistols. My revolver is not a pistol, but it is a handgun.

I agree. If you have a spell checker but use the wrong word, it makes sure you spell the wrong word correctly. And guns have sights to aim with, not sites. The worst example of homonyms that people get wrong is probably there, their, and they're. Another one is your and you're. I've seen several posts online of your stupid. It doesn't do any good to ask your stupid what? or to point out how stupid they are. I also see an incredible number of people saying would of when they should be saying would have. They must not know the difference between would of and would've.

Never heard that before.
Food for thought.

They are handgun types.  It is a definition change that came about as we evolved from a basic single shot flintlock or percussion cap to action types.

What image does the word "Pistolero" bring to mind?

Bob Munden.
Who used revolvers . LOL

Actually the first thing I think of is a poser since in the contemporary books I read they were referred
 to as "shootists" or "gunmen".

You know things are getting bad when someone who's not a gun owner can't believe what's happening on TV. https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2017/11/14/can-someone-please-explain-to-the-walking-dead-how-guns-work/#7b0c7ef26f2b

That is a VERY good definition. I think it just became my definitive definition for the difference between the two! Thank you.
