The term 'pistol' is a subset of handgun, which in turn is a firearm wielded in one or both hands and lacking a shoulder-stock.

Pistols and other handguns usually have the advantages of light-weight, portability, and in many cases lower cost over larger firearms. However they trade range, power, and often capacity to gain these benefits.
