Maybe to some but in general the term "revolver" is used to define a handgun with ammo contained in a cylinder versus a semi-automatic "pistol" with ammo in a magazine or clip. |

Yabut they didn't have semi-automatics with ammo held in a "magazine" as modern pistols have. One of the first "pistols" (as the term is used today) was the Colt Pre-Woodsman. The one I had was made in 1922. |
