About the Pistol

A pistol is a type of handgun, a small firearm designed to be fired while being held in one or both hands.

Pistols use a variety of ammunition, ranging from small-caliber rounds to large-caliber cartridges, and they can be semi-automatic (able to fire multiple rounds with one trigger pull) or revolver-style (with a rotating cylinder that holds several rounds).

Pistols are widely used for personal protection, law enforcement, and military purposes, as well as for sport and recreational shooting.

However, they can also pose significant risks to public safety if they are not handled and stored properly.
