Hey, I resemble that comment.
And I will still stand by it. Any dirty, fouled gun can jam.
But a clean, loaded revolver will always be more reliable than an clean bottomfeeding autoloader.
And especially so after a week, a month, or years in a nightstand. (Though no firearm should be left alone, neglected for so long, without a little playtime at the range.)
At one time it was pretty much accepted that revolvers were more reliable and it was probably true.
Today, with a couple of caveats, I am not so sure. Sig's, Ruger P series, Browning HP, Beretta 92's, Later model Glocks, using high quality ammo are probably more reliable than revolvers. They are pretty darn close to 100% reliable.
There are a lot of things which can bind a revolver and when they do bind, they take a lot more to clear than removeing the mag and racking the slide.
Some things are: timing off, too narrow cylinder gap, bent crane (happens fairly often), empties caught under extractor star, sometimes on Smith's short shucking the action on DA can jam the action. There are probably a lot more that I haven't thought of.
Like I said tho, I like revolvers.
