After posting my thread about the single shot break open hexagonal 22 handgun, I thought about this.
If a handgun with a rotating cylinder is called a revolver and a semi-automatic handgun is called a pistol, what is a single shot pistol called that has no cylinder and of course is not semi-auto? Handgun and firearm both work nicely but is there another nomenclature?
