NH
I voted for other cause you left out my personal favorite, Sig Sauer in a pistol, S&W in a revolver. The way that I understand it a handgun with a revolving cylinder is a revolver, all others are pistols. I've had many over the years, down to just a few now.

And the early Colt handguns were known as a "Revolving Pistols". Said so right on the box label. Pistol
originaly refered to a weapon that was fired from the hand, or one handed.
Current usage divides between self-loaders and revolvers.
