Hellmark was spot-on about the difference between pistols and revolvers. Don't call a S&W model 29 a revolver. You will fail to make Dirty Harry's day.
Crich, to go one more step, "clip" is an incorrect term for magazine that drives many firearm enthusiasts crazy. On the other hand, I find its usage so common I do not stumble over it or fire off angry e-mails. Except this one.
