Howdy.
I am submitting this post to both the Revolver and Semi-auto forums since I would really like to hear from both those who favor semi-autos as well as those who favor revolvers. (I hope the moderators will allow this.)
Question: As stated in the title, I am asking for input in regards to the comparative reliability of semi-autos to that of wheel guns. I ask this question in good faith because 15 years of being a full-time firearms instructor as well as having conducted 5 years of qualification in the field has caused me to come away with a jaundiced view of semi-auto reliability.
The mitigating factor is that this experience (seeing both types shot side by side) was accumulated between 1990 and 2004.
So, now in the year 2011, after 7 more years of development, I’d like to ask how they compare for reliability in a civilian and law enforcement environment?
Respectfully,
