Guns..... and handguns are no exception, are like computers. Feed junk in, get junk out. I had a 40 year career , mostly as a firearms trainer, in law enforcement. I started with 1911s, ('70's) (duty and National Match) then revolvers, (80's) then S&W autos, and 1911's (90's), then Glocks (late 90's to present) and other assorted poly framed guns.
In each assigned "phase" of duty handgun, some absolutes came true: there must be good mechanical function, clean weapon, best ammo available. Other things came with that: dedication to the platform; no bashing the current duty gun, period. Familiarity, understanding the platform and theory, and (way) more than the basic training. That is the only way to believe in the gun in your holster.
Revolvers better than autos? For what purpose(s)? I carry both. Autos in town, revolvers in the woods. I believe in, and understand both platforms.
