9 round clips

[Leestro2]

I called Midway USA for clips for a9 mm Smith and Wesson mod 39-2 and they are telling me can use a 9 round clip but the one I have only holds 8 can a 9 round clip be used in a 39

I'm sure it can but you'll have part of the mag extending below the grip. Unsightly but functional.

S&W lists them on their website for the Mdl 39 so should be fine.

Actually, despite being new, you are correct in using the term semi-auto or semi-automatic, which is correct, instead of auto, which is not.

Or just say pistol.

Or just say pistol.

That's another term I never quite got when referring to a semi-auto (I too was unaware of the difference between a clip and a magazine when I first got into shooting and was referred to the pic I posted to show the difference back then - sorry if it came off as snooty - didn't mean it to OP).

Anyway back to my pistol question. I always assumed pistol was like saying handgun but later realized pistol meant semi-auto while revolver meant...well revolver. I guess I am wondering where that difference comes from. To this day I still feel like pistol means any handgun and revolver or semi-auto are the two main different types. What about single shots like a tc contender? I guess they aren't pistols. So confused...

Pistol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So...based on that - a TC Contender IS a pistol? I learned something new today. Thanks Snubbyfan!

Or just say pistol.

Technically and historically, pistol is an all-encompassing term which includes both REVOLVERS and SELF-LOADERS, i.e. handguns.

Sam Colt referred to his invention as a "revolving pistol."

Thus, there are semi-automatic, or self-loading, pistols and revolving pistols.

Common usage these days is, as usual, imprecise. I agree with you that people tend to drop the "semi-automatic" off of the correct description, which would be "semi-automatic pistol," but that does not make it precise, or either technically or historically accurate.

 

[BillK01]

it's all very confusing....

heck even Sam Colt didn't know the proper terminology!
