Semi Vs Pistol

[kde71450]

I have my CHL and was certified using my Ruger SR40C. I would like to purchase a .357 magnum pistol, to carry also. Do I need to be re certified for the Pistol in TX or does my Semi certification cover that already ??????

SA = Semiauto, and that covers you for both semiautos and revolvers. Otherwise, you can only carry a revolver. So if you qualified with a .40 Cal semiauto, you're good to go.

I don't know of any .357 magnum pistols. Are there any?

I think that is a revolver caliber.

You could get a .357 Sig in a pistol.

I think the OP is asking about a revolver, but the Desert Eagle is/was available in .357 Magnum, along with a couple of 1911s and the Wildey.

Well, that's the fun thing about guns. Pretty much somebody has built something non-standard for almost any caliber out there. We have rifles that shoot pistol calibers and revolvers that shoot shotgun shells and we have pistols that shoot rifle calibers.

LOL, those are awesome, but I will publicly admit my manliness ends at .45 ACP.

Funny, reading the thread title I was imagining a truck vs. pistol shot.

pis·tol
/ˈpistl/
Noun
A small firearm designed to be held in one hand.
Synonyms
gun - revolver - handgun

From Websters:
"The two classes of pistol are revolvers and automatics. Automatics have a mechanism, actuated by the energy of recoil, that feeds cartridges from a magazine in the grip."

The correct distinction would be semiautomatic vs. revolver.

Unless of course you are talking about the designation on a CHL which would be SA (semiautomatic) and NSA (non-semiautomatic).

Exactly. Don't be a smart A when you don't even know the definition of what you're saying is incorrect.

Sorry, slang and a poorly researched dictionary entry is not equal to factual discussion.
Just because everybody calls it the wrong thing doesn't make it true. Neither is a magazine a clip just because 90% of the people call it that.

... a pistol is a handgun with a chamber that is integral with the barrel.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol

A revolver is a repeating firearm that has a revolving cylinder containing multiple chambers and at least one barrel for firing.

I always considered a pistol a semi-auto and a revolver, a revolver.
