Um, just what would you call a pistol other than a pistol? And trust me, I do know what I am talking about; however, in case you want some further verification ...In watching one of last week's episodes on my Tivo yesterday, I got a chuckle out of Seagal referring to the discovered .44 Magnum revolver as a "pistol." So much for his weapons expertise...
pistol - noun - a firearm that is held and fired with one hand
I watched the first two shows on the premier night and that was enough for me.

The deputies riding with him are all being paid $35.00 an hour to ride with him (by the production company). None of them are beat deputies. Seagal wanted to do a second season, but thankfully our Sheriff turned him down.

I think he is applying the analogy of Pistol as in Auto Pistol, and Revolver as in 44 Mag Revolver, but in the strict definition that you posted both can be called a pistol. As a Law Enf. Firearms instructor, we taught students to distinguish between Auto Pistol and Revolver.

Thanks for the sarcasm.Thanks for helping Lou out!

Both are pistols. One is a revolver, one is an semi-automatic (normally incorrectly called an automatic). The difference is normally more of a descriptive application to identify weapons.
Thanks for the sarcasm.
BTW, I too was a weapons instructor for 4.5 years at the US Army Military Police school, so consider maybe I might know what I am talking about.
Pistol, revolver or handgun, who cares? It shoots bullets and can kill you dead.
