The cylinder lock and cylidner rod.
A revolver is louder than a pistol due to the barrel-cylinder gap that is located between the cylinder face and forcing cone of a revolver.
A revolver is a type of pistol that the cartridges are in a chamber in a cylinder. The cylinder revolves in the gun (hence 'revolver') bringing each successive chamber in alignment with the barrel. A revolver could have five chambers, it could have ten. The most common would be five or six.
Need to know caliber, barrel length and whether it is a revolver or semi-auto pistol in order to answer.
Revolvers hold cartridges in a cylinder. When the revolver is operated, the cylinder turns (revolves) to align a cartridge with the barrel. Originally called a Revolving Pistol, shortened to revolver.

Chances are that if you overload the charge in a revolver style black powder pistol, you can blow up the cylinder or blow the barrel off the end of the gun.
Need to know if it is a revolver or pistol. What is the barrel length? What markings are on the frame/barrel? What type of finish? What are the grips made out of? Pictures are a big help. Does it have the original box, manual, etc.? Without this information it would be a pure guess.
I could not find any 380 cal. pistol going back to 1887 ??? are you sure it's not a 38 cal. revolver ???? check writting on top of barrel ......................
No, the first handguns were single shot pistols. A pistol with a revolving barrel was not invented until a couple of hundred years later.
