Seeing a pistol in your dream, generally denotes bad fortune.

To dream that you are aiming a pistol, denotes that you are trying to target a specific goal.

If you own one, you will cultivate a low, designing character.

If you hear the sound of one firing, you will be made aware of some scheme to ruin your interests.

To dream of shooting off your pistol, signifies that you will bear some innocent person envy, and you will go far to revenge the imagined wrong.

However, if the overtones of the dream are that of fear, anger and aggression, then the pistol signifies power by which you need to defend yourself against the fear and anger.
