Report a weapon's stolen (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

pistol shot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'report a' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'weapon's stolen' is the wordplay.
'weapon's' becomes 'pistols' (pistol is a kind of weapon).
'stolen' becomes 'hot' (stolen goods are 'hot').
'pistols'+'hot'='PISTOL-SHOT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for pistol shot that I've seen is " use of weapon?".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
