Yes, clearly traditional revolvers are the better design. That's why there have been so many of them designed for the military in the last hundred years, or for law enforcement in the last 50.
If what you are attempting to say in your convoluted way is that traditional revolvers have not been designed for the military in the last 100 years, that's not really true. But you are right in your contention that revolver design of any kind was becoming obsolete by 1920.
One thing that is true is that a 6 o'clock barreled revolver was never designed for or adopted by the military EVER or ANYWHERE because it was universally realized what a stupid idea that it was.
Likewise while police revolver design did include some excellent designs like the Chief's Special Model 36 by S&W in the 1950s, no 6 o'clock barreled revolvers were ever designed for and adopted by any police department EVER or ANYWHERE.
Such Rube Goldberg contraptions belong back in the 19th century with all the other goofball ideas that never went anywhere.
