Revolvers and pistols are both guns, but revolvers and pistols are not the same...
At least that's what I was told in the gun safety class. Maybe I don't remember correctly. I could have been distracted by the instructor's enormous gun in his pocket.

Quoted from Wiki
The word "pistol" is often synonymous with the word "handgun". Some handgun experts make a technical distinction that views pistols as a subset of handguns. In American usage, the term "pistol" refers to a handgun whose chamber is integral with the barrel, making pistols distinct from the other main type of handgun, the revolver, which has a revolving cylinder containing multiple chambers. However, Commonwealth usage makes no distinction at a technical level—"pistol" may refer to revolvers, semi-automatics, or muzzle-loading/cap-&-ball handguns. For example, the official designation of the Webley Mk VI was "Pistol, Revolver, Webley No. 1 Mk VI", and the designation "Pistol No. 2 Mk I" was used to refer to both the Enfield Revolver and the later Browning Hi-Power semi-automatic.
The first pistols were made as early as the 15th century, but their creator is unknown. By the 18th century, the term came to be used often to refer to handheld firearms. Practical revolver designs appeared in the 19th century, and it was in that century that the (sometimes-observed) technical differentiation in usage of the words "pistol" and "revolver" developed.

And then there were none, great last entry, everyone got what they deserved. Sad to see the end of this dirty soap opera, but like all good things it must come to an ed.
Thanks Michael, I was torn between Tommy riding off with the money, and him being killed, but went with the latter. I think that it would also be fitting for him to have "won" and got what he wanted.
Jeff, Tommy can get his way out of anything, you should know that by now!
Just letting you know that I'm currently in Italy. Will try and get the last two entries read whilst I'm here, if not I'll read them when I return home on Wednesday morning
