Um, revolvers are pistols....

Not even very many years ago, in many circles, “pistol” was frequently used as a short reference to a semi-auto handgun. A revolver was just a revolver. Both of them were handguns. Hence why the term “semi-auto pistol” is common, but not the term “revolver pistol.” I don’t know the origins of why this is, I just know that existed as such and in more than just one small setting.
