This is immensely helpful, gentlemen. re: Chevelle - I wrote the car in on the fly, not really thinking about the 50's being a non-muscle car era, so good point there. Good thing I've got you as a fact checker. re: guns - I'm about as familiar with guns as I am with women (not at all) so I'll be coming to you more with other gun quetions, if I should need it. At any rate, you guys are gonna get a free meal out of this when I'm done. Word. This is immensely helpful, gentlemen.

Either the phrase 'the chamber rolled around', specifically "roll" would indicate a revolver, hence the suggestion for something with a revolver caliber (.357 magnum, .38 special, .44 magnum) or a different phrase ('the hammer fell on an empty chamber') that can be used with an automatic. I'm fairly certain the .357 magnum was available in 1951, I'm not sure about the .44. The Colt .45 (ACP) was around in 1951, having been adopted by the military for the official sidearm in 1911 (hence colt model 1911).
