Act with panache, in audition, producing revolver? (9)
I believe the answer is:
turnstile
'revolver?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'act with panache in audition' is the wordplay.
'act' becomes 'turn' (theatre).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'panache' becomes 'style' (synonyms).
'in audition' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (audition can mean hearing).
'style' is a homophone of 'stile'.
'turn'+'stile'='TURNSTILE'
'producing' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for turnstile that I've seen before include "Gate admitting one at a time" , "Admission gate" , "Mechanical entry gate" , "Revolving gate" , "Rotating gate" .)
