You could argue that even revolvers are self loading. They do rotate the revolving part to the next round don't they?

Technically, the action required to get the next round into battery is done by the shooter, either by cocking the hammer, or by a very long and heavy trigger pull. I know of one revolver that is a true semi-automatic design, it used recoil to to re-cock the hammer and index the cylinder.

There are many single shot bolt action pistols, though predominately used for Metallic Silhouette. Now to confuse a few....there was even a Semi Automatic Revolver made some years ago by Mateba.

Had a ruger charger, they are a little fun. But at the end of the day I no longer have a charger because they arent that practical

They've been the cause of some issues with them being placed in stock kits for the 10/22 , which while it's a pistol, placing it in one of those basically turns it into a Cat C semi auto rifle which gets some in trouble. If left stock you shouldn't have any issues



You can put them in after market stocks and not change it being a cat H, has long as the complete length of the firearm is not reduced and/or does not exceed 75cm.
What you will find it that if you put it in a stock made for a 10/22 it will probably be too long.
