Hi there,
In my opinion,
The proper general term for all of them is handgun, and in common use "pistol" and "handgun" are interchangeable. These are firearm that are held and fired with one hand.
While revolver is a pistol with a revolving cylinder (usually having six chambers for bullets).
Or
a door consisting of four orthogonal partitions that rotate about a central pivot; a door designed to equalize the air pressure in tall buildings
