Exactly. The best title would be “Dual handguns vs single handgun.”

The title confuses the reader. The inference is that the two handguns are not pistols. Otherwise they would have said “pistols.”

It’s only a pet peeve of mine because I’m a black and white thinker and actually have syntax errors sometimes. I read the headline and say, “well, since a pistol is a type of handgun and the single gun is a pistol, then the other handguns are not pistols, or the author would have said “dual pistols”. And then I get wrapped around the axle about why two “non-pistol” handguns are different than one pistol.
