Have you ever seen a shiny, metal tool in a movie that looks like this? It’s called a pistol. A pistol might look cool and powerful, like a superhero's gadget. It is made of very strong metal and has careful designs on it.

It feels heavy and solid in a hand. But what is it really for? Its most important job is safety. Imagine a police officer. Their job is to protect people.

In a very, very rare and dangerous situation, where someone is trying to hurt others, this tool helps the officer stop them. It is never the first choice. It is only used when there is no other way to keep everyone safe.

Inside the pistol, there are special parts called "bullets." When the trigger is pulled, it makes a loud BANG! and sends a bullet out very, very fast.

This is why only trained grown-ups, like police officers or soldiers, are allowed to use them. They have practiced for years to use them correctly and safely.

For you and me, a real pistol is not a toy. It is not for showing off or for playing with. Now let's follow the instructions to learn how to draw this gun. It only takes nine steps—give it a try!
