Saturday-night special is a colloquial term used to describe small, cheap, poorly-made handguns. Synonyms for this term include "junk gun," "pocket pistol," and "cheap gun." Some people may also refer to these firearms as "mouse guns" or "pocket rockets," as they are often small enough to fit in a pocket or purse. However, it is important to note that these synonyms still refer to firearms that may be dangerous and should be handled with care. Many states have tight regulations on the sale and ownership of these types of guns, as they are often linked to higher rates of violence and criminal activity.
