Between an automatic and a revolver? Generally, the automatic is advantageous - higher round capacity, faster capability for firing, slimmer design, etc. However, in a typical self defence situation, you're not going to be burning through multiple magazines - it's typically a one or two shot deal, in which a revolver would suffice. If you're expecting to have to ward off a home invasion with multiple attackers, you definitely want something other than a revolver. But a typical situation, you can do fine with the revolver. It's all in what you're more experienced and more comfortable with.

Yes, pistols are handguns, and so are revolvers. Technically, "pistol" refers to a semi-automatic and revolver refers to a revolver, but people typically use pistol to refer to any handgun.
It all depends on what pistol you are talking about for example on the Revolver it is a grip panel where you hold the revolver, if you are talking about a Semi-Automatic Pistol, there are two things, the grip panel, and the ammo magizine.
