The chamber is the inside wall of one end of the barrel, located on the opposite side from the muzzle. It is shaped to allow a cartridge to fit closely into it. On most semi-automatic pistols, it can be viewed through the ejection port when slide is held fully back against a compressed return spring. It is usually located above and forward (toward the muzzle) of the lips of the magazine. When the slide (or bolt) is "in battery" (fully closed) the chamber is immediately forward of the firing pin, though it cannot be directly viewed when the gun is in this condition.

only a pistol is an semi-automatic. revolvers are not semi auto. A "pistol" is a generic term to refer to ANY handgun, revolver or Semi-automatic. Wrong! Only some one completely unfamiliar with hand guns nomenclature would call a revolver a pistol. A revolver is commonly referred to as: "revolver, wheel gun or shooter (short for 6 shooter)." A semi automatic is commonly referred to as: "semi auto or pistol."
