Colt Model 1873 Single-Action "New Model Army Metallic Cartridge Revolving Pistol" Colt M1911 pistol, the longest serving service pistol of the With the development of the revolver in the 19th century, gunsmiths had finally achieved the goal of a practical capability for delivering multiple loads to one pistol barrel in quick succession. Revolvers feed ammunition via the rotation of a cartridge-filled cylinder, in which each cartridge is contained in its own ignition chamber, and is sequentially brought into alignment with the firearms barrel by an indexing mechanism linked to the firearms trigger (double-action) or its hammer (single-action). These nominally cylindrical chambers, usually numbering between five and eight depending on the size of the revolver and the size of the cartridge being fired, are bored through the cylinder so that their axes are parallel to the cylinder's axis of rotation; thus, as the cylinder rotates, the chambers revolve about the cylinder's pistols Compact semi-automatic Smith & Wesson .45 ACP Chief's Special — Model CS45. Luger or Parabellum Model 1900, used by the Swiss Army from 1900 to 1949 (among other Parabellum models). A Browning 9×19mm Hi-Power, also known as the GP (Grande Puissance) 35. The next development in handgun history after a practical revolver was the development of the semi-automatic pistol, which uses the energy of one shot to reload the next. Typically recoil energy from a fired round is mechanically harnessed; however, pistols chambered for more powerful cartridges may be gas operated (, Desert Eagle), or for less powerful cartridges, blowback. After a round is fired, the pistol will cycle, ejecting the spent casing and chambering a new round from the magazine, allowing another shot to take place immediately. Some terms that have been, or still are, used as synonyms for "semi-automatic pistol" are automatic pistol, autopistol, autoload self-loading pistol and selfload
