It could. Gunpowder does not require air to burn- it has it's own oxidizer chemically combined. Sights will need adjustment, since bullet will travel faster with no air resistance, and lighter gravity will cause less drop of the bullet.
Yes, a pistol would technically work on the moon as firearms operate based on their internal mechanisms rather than external environmental factors like gravity or air. However, the reduced gravity on the moon would affect the recoil of the pistol, potentially causing the shooter to experience different sensations compared to shooting on Earth.
Actually it would because one of the ingredients in gun powder is potassium nitrate which is an oxidising agent. This supplies the powder with the oxygen it needs to burn of "deflagrate". Guns can, but shouldn't be fired underwater, so yes you can fire a gun on the moon.
It depends what mechanism they use. An air pistol which uses compressed air would work, but any mechanism which needs ignition (e.g. a traditional firearm where the bullet is propelled by gunpowder) or an external air source would not.
Like a bike.
A spring balance would work on the moon but would first have to be re-calibrated for the moons lower gravity.

No, flares do not work on the moon because there is no oxygen in the moon's atmosphere to sustain combustion.

yes, this should help ya out. http://scienceblogs.com/builtonfacts/2008/09/shoot_the_moon.php
To turn your tanfoglio gt380 into a double action pistol can take a lot of work. You will have to buy a lot of different parts and a lot of time to make this work.
any 45 cal ammo will work in a 45 cal pistol
The shade of the earth on the moon is what causes the gibbous moon.
The Pistol Star is a massive and highly luminous blue hypergiant star located in the Milky Way galaxy, while the Sun is a relatively average-sized yellow dwarf star in the center of our solar system. The Sun provides light and heat to the planets in our solar system, while the Pistol Star is located at a great distance from our solar system and does not play a role in Earth's orbit or climate. The Moon is Earth's natural satellite, which orbits our planet, controlling tides and providing light at night, while the Pistol Star has no direct influence on the Earth-Moon system.
Answer: 1737.10 km (mean radius) Work: Went to Wikipedia, typed in "moon".
It would help if you gave the make, caliber, and condition of the pistol when you asked this question. Without that it all guess work.
