Handgun (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pistol

'handgun' is the definition.
(I know that handgun is a type of handgun)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pistol that I've seen before include "Shakespearean - weapon" , "Spoilt these guns" , "potential killer?" , "Officer's side-arm" , "Arm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Mirror, the Evening Standard, the Sydney Morning Herald, the King Feature Syndicate and The Times.
