Too fine a distinction. Revolving pistol would be a fine enough description. People tend to shorten descriptions, so either revolver or pistol is used.

Also from Websters 1913:

Revolver, n.
One who, or that which, revolves; specifically, a firearm ( commonly a pistol) with several chambers or barrels so arranged as to revolve on an axis, and be discharged in succession by the same lock; a repeater.

brought to you by the same people who say "caliber" when they meant "cartridge" or "chambered in"

Read any Jack Reacher novels? Just asking rhetorically.
