1. saturday night special

   A Saturday Night Special is a term primarily used in the United States and Canada to refer to any inexpensive, compact, small-caliber handgun. The term originated from the notion that such firearms were frequently used in crimes committed on Saturday nights. Some locations have put laws in place to limit or prohibit the purchase and possession of these types of firearms due to their association with illegal activities.

1. Saturday night special

   The phrase Saturday night special is pejorative slang used in the United States and Canada for any inexpensive handgun. Saturday night specials have been defined as compact, inexpensive, small-caliber handguns with perceived low quality; however, there is no official definition of "Saturday night special" under federal law, though some states define "Saturday night specials" or "junk guns" by means of composition or materials strength. Low cost and high availability make these weapons attractive to many buyers despite their shortcomings. The Gun Control Act of 1968 banned the importation and manufacture of many Saturday-night specials made and sold in prior years, most notable a large number of revolvers made by Röhm.
