Oh come on. there’s no way to know that. that guy is old. his gun is probably just as old and never been cleaned or oiled. His ammo is probably 30 years old.
that’s why I like revolvers. you can leave them laying neglected in a drawer for half a century loaded up and they will still work.
Revolvers are more reliable under ideal conditions. Autos have fewer paths to the inside, and thus are less subject to abuse. That is why Revolvers are not a favorite in the Sandbox. My .45 ACP revolver by my bedside is pretty close to ideal conditions.
Yep. I read a story where an old guy had bought a revolver for personal protection and kept it laying on the floor under the edge of the bed for 40 years. Then one night while some punks were breaking in he had to use it and it worked just fine.
