Pistol

A pistol, as a subset of handguns, is firearm that is compact in size often small enough to be held in a single hand, although sometimes pistols can be large enough that they must be held with both hands and has a chamber that is integral with the barrel (similar to that of a semi-auto rifle). This integral chamber is the is the most defining aspect of this type of handgun. In comparison, a revolver, also a handgun, has a rotating chamber that is separate of the barrel. The US government recongnizes any firearm without a stock as a pistol as defined by the NFA (National Firearms Act). It is by this definition that an AR-15 can be configured as a pistol by removing the stock and swapping the upper or barrel for a shorter lengthed replacement.
