I love revolvers. That being said, it’s a mistake to call a revolver “more dependable” then a semi-auto. A revolver is a complicated mechanism with significantly more moving parts then a semi-auto. There are some advantages to a revolver without a doubt, but let’s not get carried away.

Both systems have their advantages and disadvantages. If you can keep the revolver clean, it probably is more reliable with questionable ammo. Under difficult circumstances, but with excellent ammo, good quality semi-autos, such as the Glock, have the advantage.

I like both of them, and carry both depending on the circumstances.
