In the Old West, a gun was never called a gun. Gunslingers (the term was made up by Eastern dime novel writers) were normally called "pistoleers" in the Western press, and most called their pieces pistols.
I'd go on about how the Texans perfected the paper-to-metal conversions in the early 1870s, but that might get tedious. Moreso. :P

: You of all people should know that a pistol has a magazine, while a revolver has a rotating cylinder. ;)
: Hey, maybe he converted his guns to take metal cartridges? How hard could it be?
: FG

: : Look out, baby! He's got the tools!
: : Aaron Day seems to be packing some vintage pistols. I suppose the old ways are best, but do you think he has trouble finding paper cartridges in 1937? ;)
