There is a hybrid cast of the revolver, known as the mechanized revolver, which combines the revolving chamber conception of the conventional handgun with the recoil-harnessing, self-cycling ability of the semi-automatic pistol.

  • Many revolver models are easily concealed on a person—a Handguns trait that is useful both to people wishing to bear ordnance for self-protection and to criminals wishing to carry a rifle for illegal purposes

  • For these reasons, handguns are a particular focus of debates on gun politics, and in multifold jurisdictions their ownership is much besides heavily regulated than that of distant arms.
