“Chief among these is the lie that revolvers are more reliable than automatics. “
Yeah - autos never jam in dirty situations when a revolver would keep firing...or have ejection problems if a bad round is fired or a limp-wrist lapse occurs...I’ve had 3 jams with autos over the last 50 years and zero problems with revolvers....like the old saying goes, if a gun jams just once it’s hard to trust it as a SHTF weapon.
Before my canoe tipped over, I had a 92F Baretta. It was a fine pistol, but I had trouble finding mags that weren’t junk. With the right mag, it would shoot great. But at least every other mag I bought would feed improperly and it would stovepipe constantly.
Just a reminder that with semi-autos, it’s not just the pistol itself that has to be reliable, but the components too. Even down to the bullets. A lot of autos don’t like semi-hollows or wadcutters.
