THE .38-CALIBER REVOLVER The .38-caliber revolver is a cylinder-loading, single- or a double-action, manually operated hand weapon (fig. 11-15). Several barrel lengths and weights are available. THE .45-CALIBER SERVICE PISTOL The  .45-caliber  service  pistol  (fig.  11-16)  is  an individual weapon intended for use in close combat. The   .45-caliber   pistol   is   a   semiautomatic, recoil-operated,  magazine-fed  hand  weapon.  The pistol fires one round each time the trigger is squeezed. The  pistol  can  be  carried  in  either  a  hip  or  shoulder holster. The magazine holds seven cartridges. The forward movement of the slide strips the upper cartridge from the magazine into the chamber. After the last cartridge from the magazine has been fired, the slide remains in the rear. Only  your  ability  to  change  magazines,  aim,  and squeeze the trigger rapidly limits the rate of fire of the .45-caliber service pistol. 11-12 Student Notes: Figure 11-15.—The .38-caliber revolver. Figure 11-16.—.45-caliber semiautomatic service pistol. (A) Assembled; (B) Sectional view in recoil position.
