hmm..... you are right.

i needed a revolver for my purse/holster/truck that i could beat up and get dirty and still count on.... Semi’s are ok in the bedside drawer or when i am good about cleaning them ...... but for just constant abuse i want a revolver...

Thoug the heavy trigger is by design, and in the likely use of the weapon pulling a little to the right likely won't be an issue. However if you like it otherwise and want a revolver, you might consider the S&W 638 which has a shrouded rather than internal hammer thus allows for single action fire. Lousy picture, but the hammer projects slightly above the shroud

There is nothing wrong with a semi-auto for a truck gun, a purse gun, or for holster carry.

I wouldn't recommend the Bodyguard 380, but if you're a Smith girl I would recommend the S&W Shield in 9mm for carry and on body concealment, and the S&W M&P in 9mm for the nightstand.

Me, I prefer Glocks, and I would recommend the Glock 42 in .380 (my wife's gun of choice), the Glock 43 in 9mm (similar in all respects to the Shield,) and the Glock 19 in 9mm (similar to the M&P.)

Semi-autos can be just as tough and take just as much abuse as any revolver, and maybe more. Look at the exposed cylinder face on your revolver, then imagine what would happen if it got dropped in the mud or snow. Almost all modern semi-autos pass the drop in the mud test with flying colors (and flying mud in your face when you fire the first round!)
