Handguns can be broadly categorized into two main types: revolvers and semi-automatic pistols. Revolvers have a rotating cylinder that holds the cartridges and typically have a simpler design with fewer moving parts. Semi-automatic pistols use a magazine to hold the cartridges and utilize the energy from the fired cartridge to cycle the action and load the next round. Within these categories, there are various subtypes such as single-action, double-action, striker-fired, and hammer-fired handguns.
