I've given this alot of thought. I have numerous 1911's, a Glock, Sig, and a Para Ord.
I have NEVER had a semi auto that didn't jam. Never. I can never be sure when I need it, it won't jam.
It seems like every semi auto has it's own safety system that must be learned. A Sig has a first shot like a double action and then followed by a single action. Huh?
A 1911 has a manual safety that must be disengaged, in an emergency, can I remember? I forget to it at the range at times.
Glocks, I never felt comfortable with the trigger. Just me I guess.
Now comes revolvers... always eats ANY bullet given it. Always there in a "Safety mode", always the trigger pull is the same as the last. Open the cylinder, bingo, the revolver cannot fire. I never heard of an accidental discharge from a revolver. Never. Some of you may have, I have not. No springs to change, ie, recoil, or mag springs, when things go wrong. No stove pipes, no jamming.
God though, I love to fire semi autos at the range, man it's fun.
Anyway, I depend on the revolver. I carried all the semi autos at one time or another, but I ALWAYS go back to the revolver.
