There was a special done on a CA jeweler, Lance Thomas who ended up shooting six attackers (out of a total of 11) in four separate incidents.
His first encounter involved two attackers (you can see that his average was closer to 3 attackers per encounter). He used 3 rounds to disable the first attacker--his revolver only held another two rounds. Fortunately the other attacker complied with Mr. Thomas' commands after his accomplice was disabled. After that, he placed multiple revolvers around the shop which he plans to grab, shoot empty, drop and then repeat with another. His second encounter again involves multiple attackers--5 this time. He fires 19 shots, kills two of them and is shot 4 times in the process.
The second encounter amounts to three reloads with a typical full-sized revolver. It would have been only one reload with a typical full-sized semi-auto. That's seems like a big advantage in a real world scenario to me.
