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 |
| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
