    Revolver Reliability<\/h2>\n

    Everything in firearms is a <\/span>trade-off<\/strong>, and revolvers vs. semi-autos is no exception.<\/span> <\/p>\n

    Modern semi-automatic pistols are extremely reliable compared to 30 years ago, but they have two weak points \u2014 feeding and magazines. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Magazines are hands down the most common source of malfunctions in a semi-auto. A revolver doesn\u2019t have that problem, ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The second issue is feeding a round into the chamber. <\/p>\n

    Almost any semi-auto handles FMJ rounds without much issue, but hollow point rounds (what most people use in their defensive guns) can often cause issues.<\/p>\n

    Again, feeding isn\u2019t something that a revolver has to worry about. You have just a basic trigger, a hammer, and a cylinder.\u00a0Pull the trigger; the hammer cocks back, the cylinder turns, the hammer goes forward, and bang. <\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"
    The vast majority of revolvers are similar designs that all share the simplicity that makes them reliable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Pull the trigger again,<\/span> and the same thing happens \u2014 pretty simple execution.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The trade-off? <\/p>\n

    A semi-auto malfunction can almost always be resolved with a simple tap-rack-bang drill. <\/p>\n
