An auto-rechambering pistol is called an AUTOMATIC. A pistol that fires repeatedly with one pull of the trigger is called a MACHINE PISTOL. There is no such thing as a “semi automatic” pistol.

That is just a shortened version of semi-automatic. The term refers to the action, not the barrel length & stock that make up the difference between a pistol and a rifle.

No. Your terminology should be updated.
