A weapon, and a good one (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gun

'a weapon' is the definition.
(gun is a kind of weapon)

'a good one' is the wordplay.
'a good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'one' becomes 'un' (I've seen this in other clues).
'g'+'un'='GUN'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for gun that I've seen before include "Revolver" , "Firearm" , "Platform from which to shoot" , "Arm" , "It can be carried by 15 Ac" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
