A good semi auto is much easier to handle than a revolver... an unexperienced person would have a negligent discharge much easier with a revolver.
A good 1911 style like a browning high power 9mm is a great start. Although even a good Kimber .45 isn’t hard to learn on, and recoil is quite manageable even for the younger shooters.
I understand your reasoning, but respectfully disagree. I prefer semi autos myself, but recommend a hammerless revolver for beginners or people who only purchase for personal protection and don't intend to shoot often.
In stressful conditions, people can lose fine motor skills. The immediate action drill (stoppage drill) for a wheel gun is simple. Pull the trigger again.
When I first carried a wheel gun, I used to keep the first chamber empty so I wouldn't have an AD.
Just my humble opinion.
“A good semi auto is much easier to handle than a revolver.”
No, I don’t buy that for a second, and I’ve been shooting for close to sixty years.
