revolver
Six-shooter, perhaps
A revolver is a handgun with a rotating cylinder containing multiple chambers, each holding a single cartridge.
Pulling the trigger advances the cylinder, aligning the next round with the barrel.
The mechanism distinguishes revolvers from semi-automatic pistols, which feed from a magazine.
He kept an old six-shot revolver in the nightstand.
