I agree on the validity of a revolver. I have come full circle from revolvers to semiautos back to revolvers. Carry a 357 Airlight on my ankle wherever legal in Ga. I have done a LOT of range time and even a Glock will fail sometimes. I have never had a revolver fail. If you have a dud you just, well, pull again. My suggestion is a 357 revolver for carry, the semiautos for fun.
You semiauto buffs begin your retort with a report on whether or not your semiautos have EVER jammed.
You semiauto buffs begin your retort with a report on whether or not your semiautos have EVER jammed. I've put over 5,000 rounds through my SIGs and have never had a jam.
The only non-ammo related problem I've ever had was when a round stovepiped on a Sig P245. That was during the first 200 rounds, which I consider a break-in period.
My preference for semi-autos is simply because that is what I learned first, so I'm most comfortable with them.
