Last time, we started off by talking about the nuts and bolts of handgun ammunition. Today we’re picking up that discussion where we left off.
Handgun ammo is generally made for use in pistols or revolvers. Yes, a revolver is technically a pistol, but I’m talking about semi-automatic pistols. There is a difference between the two. In a revolver round, the base or rim of the cartridge is larger in diameter than the case. If it wasn’t, the rounds would simply fall through the revolver’s cylinder. |

No, a revolver is not technically a pistol. It is designed to use with one hand, and folks have taken to call it a pistol. It is generically a 'pistol,' but technically it is not.
But a pistol's chamber and barrel are one piece. A revolver's are not; there is a "cylinder gap" separating the two. |

TO REMEMBER |
| America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by one enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. — JOHN QUINCY ADAMS (1821) |
