Technically, revolvers are not classified as being semi-automatic.

A semi-automatic is a type of repeating single-chamber handgun that automatically cycles its action to insert the subsequent cartridge into the chamber.

A revolver uses multiple chambers and a single barrel.

But the result is still the same. One pull, one bullet fired, with the next trigger pull producing another round fired.
