I use them pretty much interchangeably. Firearm if I'm sounding a lil' more formal, gun if I'm just speaking casually.
I will say that I typically do use the term "handgun" much more frequently than "pistol" though. No real reason on that one - it's just typically the word that springs to mind when discussing them .
