What Are the Parts of a Pistol?

The basic Gun Parts of all modern firearms are:

  1. Barrel - The tube that the bullet travels down.
  2. Action - The part of the gun that discharges the projectile by striking the primer.
  3. Stock - Used by the shooter to hold the firearm, and usually at least some part of the frame to support and connect the action and the barrel.
  4. Trigger - Any device to release the firing pin so it can strike the cartridge’s primer. Nearly all modern firearms also have a trigger guard.
  5. Receiver - The frame that contains the components of the trigger and action. Some firearms, like AR-platform rifles, have a lower receiver and an upper receiver in two parts.

For pistol parts, this would be the same, except “grip” is usually used to refer to “stock”. A revolver has a cylinder that holds the cartridges (ammo), and a semi-automatic pistol has a magazine to hold cartridges that is usually removable and stored in the grip of the semiauto pistol.

Can You Buy Parts to Build a Pistol?

Yes, you can buy all of the pistol parts needed to buy a pistol. Since the receiver is the only part that is considered to be the firearm, they are serialized and they need to be purchased through an FFL (Federal Firearms License) dealer. All other parts including the action, barrel, grips, etc. can be purchased right here at OpticsPlanet!

For instance, some very popular pistols that people customize are the GLOCK 19 and GLOCK 17.
